Fire Extinguisher
At least one approved B-1 portable fire extinguisher
is required on most boats. Make sure all passengers
know the location and operating procedure for each
fire extinguisher.
Visual Distress Signals
Federal law also requires boats 4.8 m (16 ft.) and
longer to carry day and night visual distress signals
when operating on coastal waters, the Great Lakes,
territorial seas or those waters directly connected to
them, up to a point where the body of water is less than two miles wide.
Some signaling devices (pyrotechnics) are restricted from use
on certain bodies of water, so always check with local
authorities.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
As a precaution, a good boater will avoid potential problems on an
outing by having additional equipment on board.
Normally, this equipment is dependent on the body
of water and the length of the trip, your dealer can
