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-

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 and read the book “Sportfish, Cruisers and Yachts” included
with your boat.
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.
