First time ever boating.

Hivolt · 09-07-2016, 04:10 PM

Hi all, this forum has definitely been a wealth of knowledge. I am renting a place on Rattlesnake in a couple of weeks as well as renting a boat in Wolfeboro. This is my first time ever really piloting a boat, I have done it maybe 2 other times many years ago. This is definitely a huge jump, especially without knowing the weather and really not having a choice regardless of weather.

Aside from my Bizer map and the navionics gps for my phone what are some real important things to consider both being out on the lake for the first time and being a brand new boater? I have been studying the bizer map nearly non stop for the last few days in the hopes I don't get myself in a jam.

Thanks for the responses in advance.
