All boats over 16 feet (4.8 meters) in length must be equipped with an
operable horn or whistle. Test the operation of the horn periodically, so as to
make sure it will sound when you actually need to alert someone or another
boat. The following are standard signals when using a whistle or a horn:
• One prolonged blast: Warning.
• One short blast: Pass on my port (left) side.
• Two short blasts: Pass on my starboard (right) side.
• Three short blasts: My engines are in reverse.
• Five or more blasts: Danger!
Bilge pump(s) are installed in your boat to remove water that may
accumulate in the bilge. Know the location of the pump(s), where they
discharge, and where switches are located. Typically there are manual switch
and/or an automatic switch position(s). Periodically test the operation of bilge
pumps by activating the manual switch and observing the water discharge. It
is best to leave the bilge pump switches in automatic mode, so as to not allow
excess water to unknowingly accumulate in the bilge of your boat. If your
bilge pump comes on too frequently or continuously, investigate the source of
leaking water (check for hull damage, hose or piping leaks, missing drain plug,
exhaust system or ballast system failures, etc.), and/or return to shore. Excess
water in the bilge of your boat can cause loss of engine power, sinking, and/or
capsizing.
All vessels used on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas,
and those waters connected directly to them up to a point where a body of
water is greater than two miles wide, must be equipped with USCG approved
visual distress signals. Your dealer or local authorities can help you select
appropriate visual distress signals for your area.
If you are required to carry distress signals, you must have three USCG
approved pyrotechnic devices. Be sure they are in serviceable condition, not
exceeding the expiration date and stored in a cool, dry location in a red or
orange waterproof container.
Pyrotechnic signaling devices can cause fire and/or explosion, death,
serious injury, and property damage if improperly handled. Follow the
pyrotechnic manufacturer’s directions.
