-No you do not. YOU do not, but the boat does! On almost all inland waters boats are taxed for use on the water the way a car is taxed for use on the roads. I live near the Norfolk Broads and i have a little 10' Dinghy with a small 3hp outboard motor on it, the River licence for it is 拢96 plus you have to have 3rd Party Liability insurance which costs me another 拢65. The waterways use licences are annual (though you can often get a 2 week short stay licence) and based on the size of the craft.No you do not. YOU do not, but the boat does!

Where I'm from, any vessel that has an engine or motor requires a boating license.
cheerio
you need a licence to drive any motor boat.

My boat propeller smoked?
-is it normal for the propeller to smoke a little while driving and after drivingThru hub exhaust? Then yes they will smoke a little.
Fuel leak issue, 85hp Mercury Outboard?
-Not a mechanic type of person, so I'll try to detail as best I can.
A note here, the engine is an older model. It's on a 1971 hull, but outboard is more likely an after market from sometime in the 80's. I've already had the engine half way taken apart (major outer structure only, no moving parts) to diagnose the issue.
The engine, when hooked up to a gas line, leaks. I've tracked down the leak.. it looks like it's coming out of the cylinders. When the choke is closed, I can visually see the choke flap shutting.. and the leak stops. When the choke is open, it leaks. The suggestion given to me was that something was stuck open? No idea here. So, the question.
I'm handy enough to put things back together after I take them apart.. If I strip down the engine and make sure it's all put back together, will it solve the issue here or is it likely to need parts/more work than a simple rebuild? I already know that it also needs a new starter, but after looking at it I already know I can handle that much. (find it.. a whole different matter)

What type of waterproofing should I put on my boat oars?
-I just sanded down the oars for my boat....Should I just coat them with Polyurethane?
Not sure what was on them to begin with...but it was a clear glossy finish.
ThanksUse a marine quality varnish. Polyurethane is a type of varnish. Just explain at the paint store what you're trying to do and they can recommend the right product.
There is an epoxy base paint and is great on any kind of surfaces including wood and this would be great for your oars because this thing came clear or any color you choose and you can find at Home Depot or Lowe's as well
Just a couple of coats of a good SPAR VARNISH would work quite nicely.

A passenger on a small boat falls overboard. How should this person be pulled back onto the boat?
-a.over the side that is opposite the steering station
b.over the side just forward of the steering station
c.over the stern with the engine turned off
d.over the stern with the engine idling in neutralthe correct answer is C. over the stern with the engine turned off
If someone on your boat falls overboard, you need to immediately:
鈥educe speed and toss the victim a PFD鈥攑referably a throwable type鈥攗nless you know he or she is already wearing a life jacket.
鈥urn your boat around and slowly pull alongside the victim, approaching the victim from downwind or into the current, whichever is stronger.
鈥top the engine. Pull the victim on board over the stern, keeping the weight in the boat balanced, especially in small boats.

Does a pontoon boat have liquid in the pontoon or water?
-my pontoon/party barge has a drainage on each side but it doesnt drain the front is that for a reason? it sounds like theres water in the front ones do they have liquid in them for balance or is it really water that needs drained by drilling holesAs everyone already covered there shouldnt be anything inside of them besides air.
Should only be air. Try tipping or leaning the boat so the water drains out.
They are supposed to be filled with air and nothing else.

Can i paint my boat with house paint?
-Prefix any product at all with any of the 'magic' words: 'marine' or 'yacht', and you can instantly treble the price!
As long as you compare like with like and get an exterior, oil based paint (at least) - polyurethane is better - but not water based, then there is essentially no great difference between marine paints and any others - except price!!
And different producers of course - some are better than others. (Woolworths' 'Cover Plus' wet-look gloss used to be in a league of its own. Utterly superb! But sadly, you can't get it now as they are no more). This product had exceptional 'body', was high-build (a gloss paint, note!), extremely high-gloss and lasted for multiple seasons because of it.
While, in contrast, many top-brand oil based 'marine' brands barely last one season - they are produced in the knowledge that boat owners are very often quite happy to paint (or have painted) their pride and joy every season. And so, are made to be no more resilient than that.
Obviously, I do not include any specialist marine products, for example, the pigmented epoxies and polyurethanes etc. Just like-for-like.
And, bear in mind, high-gloss finishes are much better for the harsh marine exterior environment as these are much less permeable than the 'matt' and 'satin' finishes more usually associated with interior paintwork. In particular domestic interiors. They are also much more reflective and so filter the destructive ultra violet rays of sunlight, rather than absorbing them.
And if you want your paintwork to last, apply lots and lots of coats: at least four primers to bare wood and two or three undercoats. No need to abrade again between coats as long as you apply in ideal, cool, dry conditions and very soon after the previous coat has cured. Simply lightly degrease first.
And just flat back your final undercoat prior to the gloss using about 400 grit.
And ... always apply a wax polish, just like you might do to your car (doesn't have to be 'marine', or 'yacht' etc.) just as soon as your chosen gloss has fully cured. And, again, each season.
-|--)=== NO .... you should not use water based paint on a boat ---- you should use a good quality MARINE paint .... the marine paint will last for several years and it will not peel, crack, or wash off the surfaces -- if you will follow directions and sandpaper all paintable surfaces ...
........... please do not use any house paint on your boat --- when you go to the 25-cent car wash to clean your boat the house paint will peel off and the MESS will be more than you want to deal with .....
Some yachties keel hauled their yacht on a beach in Indonesia, and cleaned the bottom while they waited for some anti-fouling paint to arrive, the sort that is environmentally friendly and slowly leeches away to reveal new chemical. While they were doing this the locals took an interest and revealed what they used for anti-fouling. It seems they get paint from the local shops, the mis-matched free stuff and mix it all together in a drum, the colour is not important. To this they add the hottest ground up chilli and peppers they can find, all growing nearby, to create free anti-foul, and its environmentally safe to boot. One year later they repeat.
No,it is not a good idea to paint a boat with house paint.The house color can damage the base of the boat.You should have to use Marine paint.Marine paint will be good choice,if you want to paint your boat.

Yes, but confine it to the superstructure. Below the waterline, of course, you want bottom paint unless the boat spends most of its time on a trailer.
