Bearings That Bring In More Fish: The Canyon Marine Story

Quiet innovation is revolutionizing the world of sport fishing boats, and Reese Fullerton of Canyon Marine Solutions is at the forefront of this transformation. Recorded live at the 22nd Annual Carolina Boat Builder Foundation Tournament in Manteo, North Carolina, this enlightening conversation reveals how cutting-edge marine bearing technology is enhancing performance across multiple industries.Founded in 2019, Canyon Marine Solutions has quickly established itself as a pioneer in shaft bearings and dripless shaft seals. What makes their proprietary polymer bearings extraordinary? They're significantly quieter than anything else on the market—a claim backed by submarine testing data—and typically last two to three times longer than competing products. For tournament fishing boats where every advantage matters, this difference can be crucial.But the story extends far beyond recreational vessels. The same innovative materials powering championship sport fishing boats are also at work in aircraft carriers, Coast Guard vessels, and hydropower plants. This versatility speaks to the exceptional quality and reliability of Canyon's engineering solutions. As Fullerton explains, their success stems from a commitment to customization rather than off-the-shelf solutions. They evaluate each shaft line holistically, taking into account the specific needs of boat builders, captains, and owners.The conversation takes an inspiring turn when discussing industry relationships, revealing how fierce competitors like John Bayliss and Paul Spencer maintain a spirit of collaboration that strengthens the entire boat building community. This mirrors Canyon Marine's own business philosophy centered on integrity and exceptional service—values that align perfectly with "the Ward's Way" of doing business.Subscribe to hear more conversations with marine industry innovators as we celebrate 75 years in business and share insights from the water's edge.
