Make positive anyone verify and keep your current boat?s fuel, gasoline andalso electrical methods on an everyday basisadd some stability and balance to the vessel. Generallyspeaking, Canadians and perhaps (though I am not entirely certain about this) North Atlanticmariners refer to them as "birds," whereas Pacific mariners call them "stabilizers" or "stay-bees."Hope that helps.
