Boating Cover

I am looking to be able to boat in Wisconsin and Indiana and I am wondering if there is a class that will cover both states. I am 15.

For most US states, the if you meet the following criteria below, you will be fine to operate a vessel in another US state

1. You have passed a NASBLA approved state's boater education course and have received a state issued boat education ID card showing proof.

Check first to make sure that the boat education ID from your state is acceptable in the state you are going to. Most states do approve of NASBLA approved or USCG boat education ID credentials as proof of boat education ID.

2. Meet the minimum age requirement for the type of vessel being operated. Some types of vessels have different age requirements in different states.

3. Have your state's boat education ID card onboard the vessel you are operating at ALL times.

4. Observe and follow all boating laws and regulations in the state you operate the vessel in, since different states have different boating regulations.


Just take the boater education course in the state in which you live in and pass it. Then use the boat education ID card in both states, since both states

I know you can take the classes when you're 14, but im wondering if the classes are for boats, or it covers jet skiing too. I don't want to take to separate classes, but i will if i have to. Thank you if you did answer!!!

the boating license course will cover all types of boats including PWC's since you are 14 you will be able to operate your PWC once you pass the test and get your boaters safety certificate.

have fun on the water

We have a 16ft runabout open bow. We are having difficulty finding a really good boat cover that wont tear on our window from the weight of water and snow. We have tried propping up the center of the cover, with a pole, but that makes tears also.
We are tired of spending hundreds on boat covers that tear before a year of use. Can you point us in the right direction? We have Overtons catalog, but there are so many to chose from!
Also, what can we use to keep the water and ice from collecting in the first place?

the problem is not the cover but the sharp edges on the windshield. go to your favorite hardware store and get some pipe insulating foam covers. they are allready slit. place then over the sharp edges of the window frame. this will protect your boat cover.

hope this helps

fuel leaked on a new boat cover made of a heavy plastic/like tarp and it is circled where fuel touched it. If I can get the smell out it would help.
Thanks!

I got some gasoline on mine and used dish soap and a brush laying it on the ground. I then water hosed it clear. It left a stain.

I'm currently making a boat cover for my sailboat. I'm using canvas because I have the material readily available to me. I'm concerned that my seams may leak. I plan on coating the cover with waterproofing spray to help shed water and leaves. The seams will be under stress and I'm looking for something other than the waterproofing in a can in which to seal the joined pieces and still afford protection from leaks. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Triple stitched, flat felled seams in canvas should not leak without any sealant. I have a cover from the below link for last NINE years in year-round sun & it is still in good condition. Cover was 6 or so years old at least when I got it but was winter stored under cover.

They may have example of the above. Also if the canvas is not UV protected you are wasting your time & energy.
Sell the canvas & buy the cover....
