When conditions prevent a fellow boater from contacting the USCG directly, a Good Samaritan steps in to help as a VHF relay.

If you can fix your boat or engine on your own when it breaks, you can save yourself a wallet full of money. Removing and installing basic engine parts, electronics, fishing equipment, pumps, deck hardware, etc. doesn’t always require a boat mechanic or technician.
