DO NOT ATTACH FLOTATION DEVICES TO YOUR BOAT
Each flotation device has straps, hooks, buckles, or other means for
securing the device in place on the wearer. Some flotation devices
also incorporate decorative D-rings or tabs. Such items are not to
be used to attach the device to the boat. Attaching the device to the
boat will not permit it to perform as intended.
