Now available through Power Equipment’s extensive dealer network across Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, this premium product line marks a significant milestone in the company’s expanding marine portfolio.
The launch of the Cruise range further strengthens Power Equipment’s established partnership with Queensland-based manufacturer Eniquest, as the company makes its strategic entry into the marine power market. This collaboration not only builds on a successful cooperation between the two brands but also opens new avenues for both businesses to serve a previously untapped segment of the marine auxiliary power sector.
“We’re excited to continue to support another Australian business in Eniquest, expand our dealer opportunities, and strengthen our existing partnerships within the Australian marine industry.” Mr. Luke Foster, Power Equipment’s CEO states. “Having worked together with Eniquest for many years providing Yanmar and John Deere diesel engines for their industrial range of generators, it was a natural fit to partner with them on this project. Eniquest’s Australian made products are renowned for their reliability, durability, and superior engineering,” Mr Foster said.

AC 3-Phase Gensets: Available from 12.5 kVA to 100 kVA, these units are powered by industry-trusted Yanmar and John Deere marine diesel engines, making them ideal for auxiliary power aboard commercial and large leisure vessels.
DC Gensets: Ranging from 6 kW to 16 kW, these compact, variable-speed diesel generators are purpose-built for efficient onboard battery charging and electric propulsion systems, tailored specifically for marine environments.
Key Features for Seamless Integration Engineered to perform in harsh marine conditions, the Cruise range is well-suited for both new builds and repowers. Notable features include:
MeccAlte compact alternators
Australian-designed colour touch screen monitoring
Removable base frame for flexible installation
Anti-vibration mounts and easy service access
Together, these features ensure quiet operation, simplified maintenance, and dependable integration with existing vessel systems.

This exclusive line enhances the company’s position in the auxiliary power market and unlocks new growth opportunities across both the recreational and com

WEST SYSTEM SIX10 Epoxy Cartridges are Back!
ATL Composites, manufacturer of WEST SYSTEM® epoxy products in New Zealand and Australia, under licence to Gougeon Brothers Inc, USA, since 1977, is very happy to announce that WEST SYSTEM Six10 Epoxy Cartridge Packs are now available again to the Australian and Asian markets, after a disruption to supply for an extended time.
SIX10 is a pre-thickened, gap filling epoxy with a smooth non-sagging consistency that trowels easily – perfect for filling voids and making fillets. All you need to do is squeeze!
Six10 adhesive provides similar characteristics to 105 resin and hardener thickened with 413 Microfibre Blend, but with the advantage of being pre-mixed and applied straight from the cartridge for point and shoot convenience with any standard caulking gun. It is ideal for stitch and glue boat construction, fibreglass laminate repair and general bonding, and it bonds to a wide range of materials including wood, metals, composites and masonry.
A unique piston inside the cartridge simultaneously dispenses the resin and hardener from the separate chambers and accurately controls the ratio. The resin and hardener are separated from contacting each other until they are outside the cartridge.
It should be noted when doing smaller jobs, you don’t have to use the static mixer. Simply squeeze out the amount needed onto a piece of plywood or board, mix the resin and hardener together thoroughly, and then apply to the job with a mixing stick or plastic spreader.
The hardener provides a long open time but has fast through-cure. Six10 stays workable in the static mixer for 42 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius, making it practical for long or complicated assemblies, and cures in temperatures as low as 10 degrees C. It cures to a solid state in 5 to 6 hours at 25 degrees Celsius and will take high loads in 24 hours.
