Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

My understanding of the situation is as follows: Unless something has quietly changed quite recently, international rules require licenses for both operators and vessels. Countries are within their rights to add or subtract rules within their own territorial jurisdictions. Canadian

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

From my understanding the MMSI number, if gotten through Boatus is still good in international waters, but any information about your vassal is not listed. Where one from the FCC, your information is listed during an emergency contact to local Coast Guard.  Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

Steve, Is it that you need a station licence? I think it is an operator licence that you require for operating VHF (and you need one if you have a VHF on board). If I remember correctly from the course I took a few years back, that licence is valid across the border, provided that it is valid

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

What Fred said is correct. His comments usually are. I would add that the station license requirement was supposed to have been eliminated for border area waters by an agreement between Canada and the United States that was awaiting the final formality in the approval process when the 911

Stus-List Gel coat crazing below waterline

Hey All, Anyone have gel coat crazing below the waterline? Someone pointed it out today and said it could be a concern. I've had the boat for 3 years now and I know it didn't happen over the winter. I'm assuming it's been this way for years with no I'll affect. When the boat was surveyed in

Re: Stus-List Seatalk adapter cables

Hi, David — the only downside to this is you won’t be able to support SeaTalk1 on the NG network, as the NMEA2000 cable doesn’t have the sixth wire for it. Otherwise, you should be good. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( >

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

Glenn — technically, yes, you do need a Ship’s Station license to use VHF, radar, AIS, SSB, etc. outside the U.S. The BoatUS-issued MMSIs are good only in territorial US waters. But like Andrew said, you most likely won’t be asked for it. The form you need is FCC 605; it is used for a

Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

If a boat crosses from the United States in to Canada and stops at a Canadian port, must the vessel (sailboat) have a ships station license from the FCC? I believe the answer is yes. Also, if the vessel has AIS and MMSI, I believe that is necessary to have a ship station license and have

Re: Stus-List Eye splice in used line

Tom, I taught myself how to splice so it can’t be too hard. J Splicing used line is harder to do but it can be done. Buy about 20 feet of the same size and type of line you have to practice on before you try your sheets. Also, wash your sheets and double rinse them to get any salt out of

Re: Stus-List Transducer help; now electrical question for Fred

Matt — you want the house bank to be one big bank, rather than two smaller ones; this will make management easier, and also help to keep you from discharging either of the smaller banks beyond the 50% mark. And assuming you have a reasonably powerful charger, you’ll make the best use of it,

Re: Stus-List Eye splice in used line

It is more difficult, but not impossible, to put an eye splice in a line that has been loaded. Was only one end loaded? If so, try the splice in the other end. Also, lower tech lines are a bit more forgiving to having been loaded. In the step where you shove the cover away from the splice, do

Stus-List Eye splice in used line

I intend to go to soft shackles on my Genoa sheets. My genny sheets are several years old. I'm wondering...Once lines have been used for several years ( light use ) will doing an eye splice become harder or too difficult? I have not done an eye splice before and want to avoid shortening my

Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

After a couple decades of marine repair, I own and have used most of the tools mentioned so far. The one I do NOT like is the Rotozip. Having said that, my choices for a straight cut would be a vibrating saw or a jigsaw. Slight tilt toward the vibrating saw. My choice of jigsaw is the Bosch

Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

When you drill a hole, don't forget to chamfer it to prevent hairline cracks from appearing in the gel coat. Dremel tools with little grinding discs are great for small cuts in thin glass like interior liner etc. Also great for fixing those hairline cracks. When I rebuilt the front of my

Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

Rick, Whatever tool you choose for straight cuts I would recommend starting by drilling out corners with an appropriately sized hole saw, that is with radius you want for corners. You probably already know this, but don't leave square corners in the cut out as they will Crack and the cracks

Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

Rick I want one of those mini circular saws but have not found a project for one. If Cutting the skin for a recore it should work well because it will make a thinner cut than the Fein. The mini circular, router or jigsaw should work for enlarging the opening. Joel On Sun, Apr 9, 2017 at 7:38 AM

I recently made ceiling panels out of FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) using a saber saw with a fine tooth blade. The blade will be ruined by the time you're finished, but blades are cheap. You can touch up the cut with sandpaper. There are router bits for laminate, but I think they're for
