🚤 It's time for Boating Safety Tip #3!
Before you leave the dock, make sure your boat is stocked with the essential safety equipment you'll need on the water.
✅ Life Jackets (PFDs): One U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket for every person on board, properly sized.
🔥 Fire Extinguisher: Did you know some expire 12 years after manufacturing? Check yours before your next trip!
📣 Sound-Producing Device: Carry a horn, whistle, or air horn to signal other boaters.
🛑 Engine Cutoff Switch: Wear your engine cutoff switch lanyard whenever you're operating the boat.
🚩 Visual Distress Signals: Keep signals on board in case of an emergency - for day or nighttime boating.
📱 Communication Device: Bring a fully charged cell phone or VHF marine radio so you can call for help if needed.
