Safety Section 1
Severe Weather
Take these general safety precautions if you must
operate your boat in severe weather conditions:
• Review the condition and operation of all safety
and communication gear
• Have everyone wear personal floatation devices
• Use your ignition shutoff clip and lanyard
• Stow loose gear and lash down equipment
• Close all hatches, doors, and windows
• Reduce boat speed
• Periodically report your location and situation by
radio
• Monitor marine weather advisories
EPIRB
Your boat might be equipped with an emergency posi-
tion-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB).
The EPIRB is capable of sending important location
information to the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system dur-
ing an emergency. You must register the EPIRB with
the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) to ensure an effective search and research
response.
In case of an emergency, the beacon can be deployed
manually or it can be released by a hydrostatic feature
if the boat sinks.
The EPIRB requires regular attention to stay in mis-
sion-ready condition:
• Every 30 days – perform self-test procedure
• Every 90 days – inspect category 1 bracket
• Every 2 years – replace HRU unit
• Every 5 years – replace EPIRB battery
Refer to the EPIRB operator’s manual for detailed
operation and maintenance information.
