During storm season, float cabins, docks and breakwaters also require protection a nd extra attention. “We have moor i ng buoys, shackles, thimbles and hardware, galvanized or stainless,” says Belyea. “Dock bumpers, fenders and edge mouldings are also available, along with Polysteel rope and mooring chain.” Service is the numberone priority for Marine Traders staff members who have avid specialty interests and experience

but all-weather clothing and waterproof gear becomes even more crucial during the winter. Marine Traders covers all the bases with a vast inventory of quality brands to satisfy each customer. “We have a great selection of rain gear and boots,” says Belyea, “including Helly Hansen, Gr u nden s, Mu st a ng Survival and Dunlop.” Staying warm outdoors involves more than wearable items, says Coulton. Fishing, boating and hunting are more enjoyable with marine heating systems on hand, he adds. “We have an operation-

The store ca rries f irea rms, a mmu n it ion, bi noc u la r s, rifle scopes and spotting scopes for hunting, lighting equipment for ATVs, boats and trucks, as well as prawn and crab traps and marine electronics. “We often receive compl i ment s about how much stock we ca rr y and that pretty much everything for the boater, fisher or outdoor enthusiast is available right here in Powell River,” says Coulton. “We are able to fight above our weight class in a small-town market due to the support we receive from our longterm customers.” Books, marine charts, topographic maps and p u b l i c a t i o n s c o v e ring the BC coast from Wa s h i n g t on St a t e t o Alaska enhance the products and services found in-store. “Customers can also check out the boating accessory catalogues on our website,” says Belyea, “and come in for hunting or fishing licences.”
