AFETY
Boats longer than 39 feet, 4 inches, must have a bell
and a whistle. These devices must meet the require-
ments of the Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980.
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.
Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers must be approved by the U.S. Coast
Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard classifies fire extinguish-
ers by the type of fire it can extinguish. Coast guard
classifications include foam, carbon dioxide, chemical,
and Halon type fire extinguishers. Below are the re-
quirements for fire extinguishers at the time this
manual was prepared.
Boats longer than 26’ and shorter than 40’: Two
Type B-I or at least one Type B-II portable hand extin-
guishers. If your boat has a fixed fire extinguishing
system approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, one Type B-1
extinguisher is required.
Boats longer than 40’ and shorter than 65’: Three
Type B-I or one Type B-I and one Type B-II portable
hand extinguishers. If your boat has a fixed fire extin-
guishing 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 compartment.
Everyone onboard should know where the fire extin-
guishers 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 manufacturer's recommendations. Be
sure to replace fire fighting equipment, if expired or
discharged, by devices of identical or greater fire fight-
ing capacity.
