She should have one anyway...unless you plan to retire from boating by 2009.
I would bet money that your electric outboard is considered a motor for the 'cards' purpose. If I could find my phamplet, I'd look it up.

The reason I ask is that Near Cove (8ft Walker Bay) is often fitted with a Minn Kota 30-lb electric, but never a gas outboard. Does my Lady have to have an Operator's Card to run it? ( I have a card, but she doesn't) I've looked at the CG website, even the actual regulations, but can't find a definition of "motor". Lloyd Sumpter "Far Cove" Catalina 36 Motor=Mechanical Propulsion If you want to get picky, internal or external combustion "motors" are correctly called engines, not motors. BB Actually, I didn't want to get picky, or know the "definition" of motor (vs Engine, etc). I need to know what Transport Canada regards a "motor" because that's the cornerstone of the Operator's Card requirement: that the boat have a "motor". And as we all know, the LEGAL definition of a word is not necessarily the "common" definition (eg "consideration"). I'd like to get my Lady to get her Card anyway, so she can legally operate the Tin Boat, or Far Cove. But she LIKES running Near Cove with the electric, so she's more likely to get one if it's required for that. She clearly does NOT need one to paddle Miss Lily.
