Bought a boat whose owner had passed away. Wife had no clue about the systems on the boat even after living on it for 15 years. Adult son was tasked with cleaning the boat and he took EVERY piece of paperwork, manuals, and logs from the boat. I haven't boated since the '80s. Do not know if there is AIS onboard or not. How do you change the name on it? Do I just trash the 2 vhf's on the boat and buy new ones? Sounds like AIS is mandatory if cruising in Canadian waters.
As far as "morally right", that hasn't happened since the '50s. More people getting killed because of texting while driving than boating without AIS.....
