It looks like the Brown division hasn't been filled since 2021. Maybe it's time to lower the minimum weight.

Drove by there today and the "Closed for the season" sign was still up.

I did mine on Boat US. I was able to do the DMV transaction right on the boat US website. It was offered at the end of the test.

Boat US. Offers an online course for free. For $13 you can get an anchor symbol on your drivers license that indicates you completed the course.

All boaters in New York must complete a course approved by National Association of Boating Law Administrators and can be issued by any state. If you are renting a boat and over the age of 18 no boating certificate is required.

There are many, many more people on the water that don't have anywhere near 50 years on the water like we do. I've seen enough people do stupid and dangerous things on the water. If this is what it takes to be sure everyone has the basic knowledge of the laws and rules, I don't mind taking a few hours out of my time. I took my first boating course when I was about 11 years old. I took my second 15 years ago with my daughter and again last week. The course is free through Boat US. Then just a few bucks to get a certification card.

I was interested in putting the same unit in my boat but now I'm not sure about the 10 inches behind the wheel. The boat is in storage now so I can't check. I have a 1997 Penn Yan 225 outrage. Has anyone used the octopus in that model boat? Or have any idea if it will fit?

Thanks for the replies. I couldn't find a kit local so I ordered a 100-hour kit. The oil and gear oil seems to be much harder to find than Mercruiser products. Is there any reason I couldn't just use Mercruiser products in a Yamaha?

I'm getting ready to winterize my "new to me" 1997 Yamaha 9.9 high thrust kicker. What is the recommended oil and gear lube for this motor? Not sure what was used before. whether it was synthetic, synthetic blend, or regular oil.

Wondering what to use for anti-freeze to winterize my 4.3 Mercruiser. I noticed the Prestone pink waterline anti-freeze says: Not to be used in gas or diesel engines as winterizing fluid or antifreeze+coolant

Thanks all. I'll give it a try.

I want to try Power Pro on one of my downriggers. Should I back the spool with something? I have 450 feet of 150lb Power Pro. It seems like being so much thinner than stainless cable it would throw off the depth counter. Any thoughts from someone that has used it would be appreciated

Weekends on Irondequoit Bay are always an accident looking for a place to happen. Online license courses are way too easy to just breeze through without learning anything. I'm not big on government regulations but I am for boat operators knowing the rules.
