RESPONSIBILITIES
worthwhile even for experienced boaters to sharpen your skills or bring you up to date on
current rules and regulations. They can also help in providing local navigational information
when moving to a new boating area. Contact your dealer, State Boating Authority or the
Boating Safety Hotline, 800-368-5647, for further information on boating safety courses.
Required Equipment
U.S. Coast Guard regulations require certain equipment on each boat. The Coast Guard also
sets minimum safety standards for vessels and associated equipment. To meet these standards
some of the equipment must be Coast Guard approved. “Coast Guard Approved Equipment”
has been determined to be in compliance with USCG specifications and regulations relating
to performance, construction, or materials. The equipment requirements vary according to the
length, type of boat, and the propulsion system. Some of the Coast Guard equipment is
described in the Safety Equipment chapter of this manual. For a more detailed description,
obtain “Federal Requirements And Safety Tips For Recreational Boats” by contacting the
Boating Safety Hotline, 800-368-5647, or your local marine dealer or retailer.
Some state and local agencies impose similar equipment requirements on waters that do not
fall under Coast Guard jurisdiction. These agencies may also require additional equipment
that is not required by the Coast Guard. Your dealer or local boating authority can provide
you with additional information for the equipment requirements for your boating area.
