Fire Extinguisher
A portable fire extinguisher is required if your boat has an inboard
engine, or when fuel is stored in closed stowage compartments.
Approved fire extinguishers are
classified by a letter symbol, either
B-I or B-II with the B designating
that the material will extinguish
flammable liquids such as
gasoline, oil, etc. B-I extinguishers
are required for boats less than 26 feet in length. Check periodically
to ensure that the extinguisher is in working condition and fully
charged. Check local, state and federal agencies as to laws and
regulations.
Horn or Whistle
All boats over 16 feet (4.8 meters) in length must be equipped with
an operable horn or whistle. Test the operation of the horn
periodically, so as to make sure it will sound when you actually need
to alert someone or another boat. The following are standard
signals when using a whistle or a horn:
• One prolonged blast:
Warning.
• One short blast:
Pass on my port (left) side.
• Two short blasts:
Pass on my starboard (right) side.
• Three short blasts:
My engines are in reverse.
• Five or more blasts:
Danger!
Bilge Pump(s)
Bilge pump(s) are installed in your boat to remove water that may
accumulate in the bilge. Know the location of the pump(s), where
they discharge, and where switches are located. Typically there are
manual switch and/or an automatic switch position(s). Periodically
test the operation of bilge pumps by activating the manual switch
and observing the water discharge. It is best to leave the bilge pump
switches in automatic mode, so as to not allow excess water to
unknowingly accumulate in the bilge of your boat. If your bilge
pump comes on too frequently or continuously, investigate the
source of leaking water (check for hull damage, hose or piping
