Leaving your boat this holiday season?

Here are 5 expert‑approved tips for leaving your boat over the holidays:

⚓ Flush your engines with fresh water to prevent salt buildup

⚓ Rinse the hull and hardware with Salt-Away to fight corrosion

⚓ Fill diesel tanks to prevent condensation and contamination

⚓ Switch off non-essential power loads like fridges

⚓ Monitor bilge, battery, and shore power remotely – can help with that

What’s your must-do before leaving your boat behind for a while?

Ever hit a wave so hard you feel it in your bones? Now imagine doing that at high speed, day after day.

Fusing vessel + biometric data, BRNKL Black helps navies, coast guards, police and more, understand physical impacts on personnel aboard high-speed boats.

It’s not just about protecting the vessel. We’re creating tech that protects the people who operate them.

Regular maintenance = more days on the water and fewer surprises at the dock.

Here are 5 smart check-ins to keep your boat in top shape:

⚓ Inspect hull, fittings, and deck hardware for wear

⚓ Check your fuel lines, clamps, and vents

⚓ Test batteries, bilges, and shore power connections (psst… lets you keep tabs remotely)

⚓ Review your electronics and wiring for corrosion

⚓ Keep drains and scuppers clear so water can flow out

What’s the one maintenance ritual you never skip?

Yesterday we had the honour of hosting Snuneymuxw First Nation and CANDO (Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers) in our office for a hands-on BRNKL Blue Rapid Deploy training and deployment session.

The BRNKL Blue Rapid Deploy gives communities advanced monitoring capabilities, secure video surveillance, and full sovereignty over their data without relying on 5G, cellular networks, or shore power. The stand-alone units are ideal for observing derelict vessels, enhancing coastal monitoring, and strengthening on-the-water awareness.

This ongoing partnership between Snuneymuxw First Nation, CANDO, and the Canadian Coast Guard supports community-led marine safety and technology capability – and helps protect our coastlines. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work together and share knowledge.

You don’t know you need it… until the exact moment you do.

Here are 5 things we always keep onboard:

⚓ Binoculars - Essential for navigation and spotting hazards in the distance.

⚓ Fishing licenses - Required for everyone who’s fishing, not just the boat owner.

⚓ Dry bag with essentials - Packed with warm layers, extra sunscreen, and high-calorie snacks.

⚓ Spare lines and fenders - Keeps you ready to pivot when docking at an unfamiliar port or rafting up.

⚓ Headlamp - Hands-free lighting is invaluable during night anchoring or troubleshooting below deck.

Of course, we also keep the always onboard, but that’s a given.

What are your onboard must-haves?

Would you call yourself a smart boater?

Here are 4 things you should be regularly monitoring:

⚓ Battery status – Did you check if it’s holding charge before casting off?

⚓ Bilge pump activity – Is it cycling too often? Not at all?

⚓ Shore power connection – Are you 100% sure you’re still plugged in at the marina?

⚓ Geofence while at anchor – What if your boat moves while you’re grabbing lunch?

That’s a lot to stay on top of. Good thing monitors it all—so you don’t have to.
