VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS
|
As one of our boating safety missions, we
conduct complimentary Vessel Safety Checks of recreational
watercraft (boats, personal watercraft, etc.).
An example of some of the items examined during a Vessel
Safety Check:
- Personal Flotation Devices (life jackets)
- Navigation lights
- Fire extinguishers
- Battery cover and connections
|
- Registration and numbering
- Ventilation
- Distress signals (flares, horn, etc.)
|
All of these items, and more, are currently required by
state and federal laws and, if missing or non-operating, can
result in a citation if your vessel is inspected by local,
regional or national law enforcement personnel.
We do not issue citations nor do we report the results of
the safety check to any enforcement agency, but we will
advise you of the recommended safety features for your size
boat and will award a decal to display on your boat if it
has passed the safety check.
The Vessel Safety Check gives you a risk-free way to meet
the legal minimums and to potentially avoid a costly
citation.
