LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 17 | Page 17

This meant a complete change for this trained aircraft mechanic (and farmer) who immediately moved his family down to the KZN coastal town. Not that they were complaining – Colin’s wife Vicky does the books, daughter Cindy is the friendly receptionist (while she studies for a teaching qualification) and together with his other daughter Nadine - the family love fishing. Loyal staffers, Norman and Veronica, have worked in the business from the very beginning! The business specialises in services, installations and repairs on all makes of boats and jetskis… and offers a good range of quality products including safety gear, watertoys, accessories, spares, Mercury motors and Lowrance electronics. Anything they don’t stock can be ordered on request. Colin started pushing Lowrance products as soon as he took over the business. He says he sells a lot of Hook and Elite Ti models to skiboaters and Kayak anglers and he is impressed with the excellent service he receives from the Lowrance team. “John Minnie is always available to help out when either my clients or I get stuck and he’s just a phone call away. Lowrance units are so easy to install and setup and they work at a press of the buttons! It’s so easy to familiarise oneself with the systems and you just don’t have to think too hard – they’re simple to navigate!” he says.
