Vessel Documentation
The State of Alaska boat registration paperwork is located onboard in the glove
box.
Safety equipment
Eight adult type II lifejackets and one Type IV throwable PFD are located under
the seats. A flare kit as well as a basic first aid kit, and a tool kit are also on board.
The boat is also outfitted with fire extinguishers and a combination CO/smoke
detector.
Boat Loading
Load the boat so that it sits level. Listing is better corrected by moving gear rather
than by using trim tabs. Trim tabs will slow you down and decrease efficiency. Do
not overload the vessel as this will stress the engine and drive and may cause
unsafe stability issues. Eliminate extra and duplicate gear. Most boaters carry far
more gear than necessary.
Electronics
Blue Medicine
is outfitted with a Garmin 541s combination mapping GPS/Sonar.
