One of the easiest and most fun ways to enjoy everything the water has to offer is by taking a ride on a personal watercraft (PWC).

Using a Marine GPS (Global Positioning System) is usually the most efficient, easiest way to navigate a boat. Learn more about how to use your onboard or mobile GPS unit to determine your position, save waypoints, create routes, monitor speed, and set anchor alarms.

All of the shiny (and not-so-shiny) stuff that’s bolted to your boat is called hardware. Fasteners are the screws, nuts and bolts that attach the various pieces of hardware to your boat. Due to their corrosion resistance, stainless steel fasteners are recommended over the bright-finish screws, bolts, and nuts from your local home-improvement store.

You say you want to generate some revenue with your boat? There are more ways to make that happen than you might think. Learn more about how to get involved with peer-to-peer boat rentals, chartering your boat for money, or becoming an on-water vendor.
