May we strongly suggest that you review all of the information provided on our web site prior to giving us a phone call or sending an email. The response (information you are looking for) you will likely receive is (more than likely) already posted there in an easy to understand format. It will save you a significant amount of time doing research and it provides valuable information you may not have even known or considered. The website was developed based on the questions we received over the years on a daily basis. We are always adding new, beneficial, and unique questions and scenarios. Many have referred to it as a great free online resource (book). The Product pull-down menus are not just a sales tool. These sub-menus provide valuable information to aid you as you decide on a solution. The Web Only Specials is similar. The FAQs (Especially 1, 2, 3, and 4) are a MUST READ. The FAQ section will greatly assist you with your endeavors. It provides clear details on what to do and what to avoid. If you glance over or skip any of these areas, you may miss an important piece of information that could be critical to a safe, reliable, and useful electrical system. To aid in your decision making, a number of myths and outdated technologies are exposed. FAQs-5 and Company pull-down menus provide information regarding ZRD that may be very helpful.

It is for the thoughtful, analytic, consumer.

Regarding pricing, review the Do Homework First link (under FAQs-5). We provide the most cost efficient pricing available; however, we truly desire to support our end users, unlike the vast majority out there. Discount outlets do not provide any.

We assist our customers according to their needs and desires. Experience has shown us that even the best require a small amount of support at some point. We are always there to provide whatever you may need.

TOOLS (under Links) should not be missed. There are many, often overlooked, items of significant importance to every sailor available. Take a look at the many varied links when you have some free time. They are so varied in nature that you need to view each to ascertain their relevance for your situation. All of the links are free.

• Due to its most common use, the ZRD website is designed using Internet Explorer as the browser of choice.
• zrd.com is best viewed at a resolution of 1380 x 1020 or greater with Favorites turned Off.
    - Depending on the size of your of your Favorites tab (if on), 1600 x 1020 or greater may be necessary.
• Scroll down every page to its bottom or you will miss important information.
• Many photos are links to that item's web page or additional information.

• The Menu requires JAVA to be enabled in order for it to function. Non-java-enabled browsers may use the following Sitemap links.
• There is a lot of useful information on each page of this website. If the information presented is out of alignment or wraps around, your monitor is not set to the minimum resolutions mentioned above. If using a 15" display or smaller, ensure the IE favorites tab is turned off enabling all of the website details to be seen.
