Arid Bilge Systems is The Next Generation of Boat Protection

How It All Started

Before the buzz of the boat shows and the showroom displays, Arid Bilge Systems and Thomas Marine had already established a connection. With years of familiarity and mutual respect, it was only a matter of time before a collaboration began to take shape.

Thomas Marine saw firsthand the power of Arid Bilge Systems’ revolutionary technology — and knew it needed to be part of their offerings. That’s why they’ve partnered with Arid Bilge Systems to bring this breakthrough into their front showroom — giving boaters across South Florida direct access to the dry bilge revolution.

What Is Arid Bilge Systems?

Arid Bilge Systems is the Dry Bilge Machine — a fully automatic, vacuum-powered solution that removes hidden water from the deepest, hardest-to-reach pockets inside your boat — from bow to stern. Unlike traditional bilge pumps that wait for water to accumulate, this system cycles every few hours, vacuuming moisture from multiple compartments and sending it to a central discharge point.

Whether it’s salt spray, rainwater, melted ice, or leftover washdown fluid, Arid Bilge keeps your bilge Bone Dry — preventing rust, mildew, odors, and premature aging of wiring, engines, and onboard systems.

Why Every Boat Needs One

Leaving water in the bilge isn’t just inconvenient — it causes real long-term damage. Moisture accelerates corrosion, mold, and electrical failures, which can cost thousands to repair. When the sun beats down on the deck, it creates a damp, corrosive microclimate below that shortens the lifespan of nearly everything onboard.

Arid Bilge Systems solves this. It’s the only 24/7 automatic vacuum solution on the market — removing trace moisture before damage begins. Built to withstand acids, oils, and harsh marine environments, it’s the next big thing in marine tech, and boaters of all levels are lining up to get one installed.
