  1. I've tried the ilostmycard.com. Useless. The company i got the card through is (was) called boaterexam.com. They are the ones who claim there is no record of my card in their system. But transport Canada said they are the ones who issued it. And transport Canada also gave me the number that was assigned to my card. 
     

    I guess I could re-do the test 

  2. Hey folks,

     

    I lost my boaters card along with my PAL and Outdoors card so all needing replacement.. so far I have had no issue with the Outdoor card replacement (easy and online), my PAL I haven't yet undertaken and will do so very soon, but the boater's card is another thing altogether.. you'd think it be easiest.  I got mine in 2010.  I called Transport Canada to find out with who I got it through and they retrieve that info for me. When I contacted them (Boater Exam), they could not find any record of it (using the number given to me by Transport Canada!).  They told me to call TC back but they (TC) didn't have anything more to offer me.. I even tried retrieving it through Boater Exam website where they have a "lost card placement" tab.. to no avail. It also seems like they changed their name.  

    Anyone else have difficulty trying to replace the card? Funny thing is, in all these years I've NEVER been asked to provide the card to anyone.  Pretty useless piece of documentation.. 

  3. What about upstream of Big Chute?  I see a boat launch there that seems to put you into different waters.  Can you nauvitgate without using locks to go downstream or upstream from this launch?  I also see Tea Lake that looks like you can enter from under a bridge. Looks like such an interesting area to cruise around in and cast some lures and see what happens! I imagine that the boat traffic is heavy especially weekends and summer...

  4. I picked up a transom saver from PA and realized it was too short.. saw other on Amazon for well over $100 then I remembered that my dad would always use a block of wood (recommended by the marine dealer he bought he boat from).  In this video, the guy basically states that the transom saver on the market do nothing to protect your transom and he suggest either a block of wood or the service supports attached to your motor.  What are y'all using?
