Keep tools and spare parts in good condition. Replace parts removed from spare parts kit. Most 
importantly  use  U.S.  Coast  Guard  approved  or  marine  certified  parts  where  applicable.  Any 
condition found requiring corrective action should be serviced by a qualified repairman. 

 
 
EMERGENCIES 

While boating, unpleasant situations may develop. Before emergency situations materialize you 
should  prepare  yourself  to  cope  with  them,  whether  they  happen  aboard  your  vessel  or 
someone else’s. Prepare a game plan for specific situations that may occur such as inclement 
weather,  collision,  fire,  man  overboard  or  collision,  to  give  you  the  confidence  and  ability 
necessary for an emergency. 

 

Storms 

Getting  caught  in  severe  weather  is  hazardous.  The  best  advice  for  boaters  in 
bad  weather  is  to  STAY  HOME.  Check  with  local  weather  stations,  the  U.S. 
Coast  Guard,  or  National  Weather  Service  broadcasts  for  the  latest  conditions. 
(162.4-162.55 MHz) We recommend you check the weather not only before but 
periodically while you are boating, as weather conditions can change rapidly. If a 
storm  approaches  a)  return  to  port  or  seek  safe  harbor  immediately;  b)  make 
sure all persons aboard are wearing a PFD; and c) reduce your speed and head 
into the wind. When a lightning storm advances certain safety precautions should 
be  taken.  Dock  the  boat  and  seek  shelter  on  land.  If  this  is  not  possible  seek 
refuge inside the boat until the storm has passed. Stay out of the water! Lightning 
will seek a ground when it strikes and may pass through metal components if it 
hits your boat. Avoid contact with metal parts of the boat under these conditions. 

 

Fog 

If  you  encounter  fog,  set  a  course  using  your  compass  and  navigational  chart. 
Reduce your speed. Have everyone aboard act as lookouts to prevent collisions.
