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.
