Boat parts can be divided into the following categories:
* Anchor and Docking
* Boat Covers and Bimini Tops
* Cabin, Galley and Interior

* Deck and Cockpit/Cabinet
* Electrical
* Electronics
* Engine Parts

* Propellers, Thrusters and Drive Parts
* Steering Systems
* Safety
* Fasteners
In considering each category, boaters can always choose whether to purchase their parts new or used. Also each category has many different options to choose from. For example, depending on where you are boating, determines what type of anchor is best to purchase.
Mushroom anchors are best where there are lots of rocks and ledges where you desire to anchor as opposed to hooker or flute anchors that can get caught on the rocks while trying to pull up the anchor.
In addition, boat parts can be purchased through numerous websites or at marine parts store locations. The best teacher for knowing about all parts, in our opinion is experience and talking with other experienced boaters.
