MDR Boat Cleaning & Maintenance

Taking care of your boat is as easy as casting your favorite rod and reel when you have MDR boating supplies and accessories. MDR is short for Marine Development & Research — but however you know them, they are the authority in watercraft maintenance. Since 1966, MDR has been creating unique boating products for anglers, recreational sailors and thrill-seekers.

Even the toughest boats can get worn down by the roaring ocean waves. Marine Development & Research boat maintenance equipment will keep your vessel in tip-top shape. TackleDirect is an authorized dealer that guarantees your satisfaction with every order.

Boat Preparation & Storage Supplies

We offer an assortment of MDR boating tools for summer maintenance or off-season storage. Their boat fuel additives include gasoline stabilizers to keep things fresh over the winter and water remover to prevent separation. For older engines that were designed to use leaded gas, MDR ReLead is a substitute lubricant to safely reduce wear. Take care of exterior grime with the latest cleaners for plastic, vinyl, fiberglass and other common boat materials. If metal parts and tools have developed surface oxidation, MDR Rust Away washes the oxide off in a flash.

MDR also has the best collection of boat tape and sealers. Use weather-sealing tape, chafing tape, bootstripe tape, rigging tape and more to protect your gear. Humidifiers are a must for cabins and storage garages to absorb unnecessary moisture. With great prices, worldwide shipping and no-hassle returns, TackleDirect serves all boaters who want to use the finest supplies.
