In September 1995 this club took delivery of a new Ford Courier (Cab/Chassis) for use on the beach by Life Guards and Beach Patrols

The Sunraysia Wheels and Aluminium Tray from the old vehicle were fitted to the new cab/chassis and a Couplertec electronic rust prevention unit was installed.

On our previous vehicles it was common for signs of the beginnings of rust damage to become apparent within a very short time, despite conventional "Rust Proofing".

At the time of writing, the Couplertec has been on the vehicle for almost a year, and there is no apparent corrosion at all, while the paintwork retains an "as new" appearance. Existing corrosion on wheels and tray parts do not appear to have advanced.

For the first time (at this time of year) the vehicle does not require workshop attention for rust control.

The benefits of Couplertec are quite outstanding, not only saving us money in running repairs, but obviously the vehicle will be worth more money when the time comes to replace it.

Whilst our main concern is the saving of lives, we must, like everyone else, put our available finances to the best use and Counteract will undoubtedly save us many thousands of dollars.

If you have any further questions regarding the use of Couplertec on our vehicle you can contact me anytime.

Yours in Surf Life Saving
