I hope this isnt a stupid question, but do you mean SSB CB?

No, the CB SSB frequencies are different from the Marine and Amateur
Radio (Ham) SSB frequencies. *Additionally, Marine band transceivers
must pass a rigorous type acceptance testing/certification program.

You probably have had to have a License in Canada for Marine Radios
for awhile, but no one does. I dont, but dont sit there and blab on it
while on the Lake. It would only be used for a serious Pan-Pan.

A few years ago I was at the Owen Sound Salmon Derby. There was this
Woman on there, just blabbering away as if the darn thing was a CB
Radio. It was a little gross to be exact. Every 10 SECONDS she was
calling another Boat to see if anything was biting. I wanted to wring
her neck while she had the Key down !!!!

BLEEEAKKKKKKKK.....
