CY & BIC Bonus Read!
It’s pre-Victoria Day in Canada and you are a boater – is there any better reason to be happy?
Hopefully you have already been back onboard, cleaned up the moth balls, tossed the No Damp, dusted off rain gear and made a list of the boat supplies that you need. While you are thinking about where you will purchase these things, please keep in mind that your local suppliers really appreciate your business. If you don't see it on their shelves, just ask a staff member. Most often, your items can be added to the next supplier order, and they will have it to you within days. Canada's Recreational Boating Industry is a small community and one that we should apply #supportlocal rules too. If something in this edition of Boating Equipment News sparks an interest, I encourage you to reach out to your local marina or chandler first. Large Online E-commerce cannot provide you with in-personal service, boating expertise, and appreciation you will receive from these customer-service focused, smaller Canadian companies.
Please have an outstanding Victoria Day Weekend and share your boating selfies at I ❤️ Boating in Canada | Facebook.
Enjoy your Boating Equipment News for May 2023!

Made in the USA, the Side Mirror Mount uses SeaSucker's innovative Vacuum Mount technology. Unlike an industrial suction cup that...

Speakers aim directly at skiers, boarders, surfers and tubers
|
|
Most marine stereo speakers produce music that bounces off the transom and reflects off the water, turning it into a distorted mush for anyone behind the boat. This is especially true when the volume is cranked up to be heard above the roar of an engine. The 8" JBL Tower X Marine Speaker System from ProSpec Electronics was engineered specifically to overcome this common watersports problem. Aimed directly at skiers, boarders, surfers...
