For the past 31 years marine retailers from all over Canada, have marked their calendars so that they could attend the Paynes Marine show in October at the Victoria Convention Centre.

Staff members, Christine on the left and Janelle on the right were on hand to welcome and register marine retailors from across Canada.

A beaming Grant Kuebler said that Saturday had set a record for largest attendance for one day, in the history of the Marine show. Marine show is a great opportunity for suppliers to talk directly with retailers.

Mobile Pumpout Serves Lower Mainland

Pumping out the holding tank after a weekend cruise is a job many of us would happily leave to someone else. A new mobile marine pump-out service enables Lower Mainland boaters to do just that.

Ray Weind, who operates Mr. Pumpout with son Derek, says the company aims to provide customers with a “hands-free” service as new sewage discharge regs mandate the use of holding tanks and forbid dumping of raw sewage within three miles of shorelines.
