Page 57, Visitors to Canada. Safety Equipment Requirements Boats licensed or registered in a country other than Canada Foreign boats (those that are licensed or registered in a country other than Canada) need to comply with the equipment requirements of the country in which the boat is usually kept. Boats licensed or registered in Canada If you are a non-resident of Canada operating a boat that is licensed or registered in Canada, the boat must meet Canadian safety equipment requirements. However, in either case, you may bring your own lifejacket or PFD to use as long as it fits and meets the requirements of your home country. butthead |

Butthead posted a link to the rules about a week ago, not sure what thread it was in but it confirmed what I said above. I have been stopped and checked several times in the Q and never needed the throw line or sponge. They just checked for PFD and moved on. T |

quote sunnybear09: "Thanks so much guys for your quick help. I wouldn't know how to throw or reload the thing anyway, just fearful of being rejected at the dock. Always carry a sponge, since the lakes are big I will probably cut down a milk jug and take a bailer anyway. Always a good idea to have a bailer and sponge. I have used both quite a bit. The bailer I have used more for putting out campfires that people have left smoldering than I have for actual bailing. |
