Skipper's Locker

Questions

What people ask most, answered plainly.

Do I need an account?

No, and there isn't one to create. Everything works without signing in. Your boat details are stored in your own browser, which means they stay on this device and disappear if you clear your site data.

Do you sell the parts?

No. We point you at gear worth fitting and show you where to buy it. The purchase happens on the retailer's site — they take the payment, ship the item, and handle any return.

How do you make money?

Retailers pay us a commission when you buy through one of our links. You pay the same price either way, and nobody can pay their way onto the list or up it. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.

Why is the price different when I get there?

Because retailer prices move, and ours are refreshed on a schedule rather than the moment you load the page. That's why each price shows when we last checked it. The retailer's checkout price is always the one that applies.

How do you know a part fits my boat?

Compatibility is our own research, not something the retailer supplies. We record which boats, engines and year ranges a part suits, and filter on that once you've told us your boat.

It is our best understanding, not a guarantee. Check against your own boat before buying — particularly for anything where the wrong part means a haul-out.

A part is missing, or the fitment looks wrong

Tell us. Gaps and mistakes in the catalog are the most useful thing you can report, and both go straight onto the list of what to fix next.

What happened to the marketplace?

Skipper's Locker used to let boat owners buy and sell used gear directly. That's closed. The site is now a hand-picked list of new gear worth fitting, with links to where you can buy it.
