Approved non-pyrotechnic equipment includes:
• Orange distress flag
• Dye markers
• Electric distress light.
No one signaling device is ideal under all conditions. Consider carrying
of visual distress equipment are very important. Select devices with
packaging that children, but not adults, will find difficult to open, especially
if young children are onboard.
Sound Signaling Device
Your boat must have an operable device that can produce a sound signal
if conditions require. A horn is standard equipment on all Carver models.
Boats longer than 39' 4", must have a bell and a whistle. These devices
must meet the requirements of the Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980.
Refer to the U.S. Coast Guard’s publication
Navigational Rules,
International-Inland for details on the appropriate signals.
Running and Navigation Lights
Your boat must have running and navigation lights for safe operation after
dark. Observe all navigation rules for meeting and passing. Do not run at
high speeds during night operation. Always use common sense and good
judgment when operating your boat at night.
Radar Reflectors
Radar reflectors (if installed on your boat) should be 18", measured
diagonally. They should be placed 12' above the waterline, otherwise, a
boat with radar may have trouble “seeing” your boat.
Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. The
U.S. Coast Guard classifies fire extinguishers by the type of fire
they can extinguish. These classifications include foam, carbon
dioxide, chemical, and Halon-type fire extinguishers. Below are the
prepared.
Boats longer than 40' and shorter than 65': Because your boat has a
fixed fire extinguishing system approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, Two
Type B-I or one Type B-II extinguisher is required.
All fire extinguishers should be mounted in a readily accessible location
away from the engine room. Everyone onboard should know where the fire
extinguishers are and how to operate them.
If your fire extinguisher has a charge indicator gauge, cold or hot weather
may affect the gauge reading. Consult the instruction manual supplied with
the fire extinguisher to determine the accuracy of the gauge.
Check and maintain fire extinguishing equipment in accordance with its
manufacturer’s recommendations. Be sure to replace fire fighting
equipment, if expired or discharged, by devices of identical or greater fire
fighting capacity.
