EMD Membership is also contingent on paying the Discover Boating membership fee. This fee is based on the horsepower of loose engines sold by your company and is billed separately.
NMMA members support the Discover Boating Initiative through vision, leadership and financial contributions. The Discover Boating Engine Assessment is the primary funding tool.
These contributions help fund the Discover Boating campaign, which promotes the benefits of boating to the public and creates interest in the boating lifestyle. In 2015, more than 1 million consumers visited the Discover Boating website, resulting in 474,000 referrals delivered directly to member boat builder websites.
