NEVER DISCHARGE YOUR FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO CHECK ITS
OPERATION. THIS WILL CAUSE IT TO LOSE PRESSURE AND
CEASE WORKING. IF THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER IS DISCHARGED
ACCIDENTLY OR INTENTIONALLY, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.
8.2 SUGGESTED SAFETY EQUIPMENT
– INSHORE
It is recommended that you carry the following equipment in additional to the required
USCG equipment for safe operation.

First aid kit and manual

Boat hook

Tool kit

Spare fuel/water separator and
filter removal tool

Extra quart of engine oil

An adequate number and size of
line should be on the boat.
Bowlines should be at least 1/3
longer than the boat’s length and
stern lines at least as long as the
boat. When operating in areas
with unusually high tidal range,
this should be lengthened. The
minimum size line for a small boat
is 3/8” diameter 3-strand nylon.
Refer to one of the listed
references in the Appendix for a
complete discussion on line size.

Waterproof flashlight, with good
batteries

Spare batteries

Binoculars

Tow line. This should be a
minimum of 50’ long with at least
one size increase over the boat’s
mooring lines.

Day/Night visual distress signals

Local charts and compass

Properly sized anchor and line

Fenders of the proper size
ALWAYS CARRY WATER, EVEN FOR A 10-MINUTE CRUISE.
8.3 SUGGESTED SAFETY EQUIPMENT
– OFFSHORE
In addition to the required USCG equipment, and recommended inshore equipment,
there is additional equipment that is recommended to have aboard when venturing
offshore. Offshore conditions change rapidly, and you may become stranded and require
help from other boats. It is important to understand that there will likely not be cell phone
coverage offshore, and you will need to rely on your marine grade communication
equipment to contact other boats.

VHF radio

A supplemental, portable VHF is
also a good backup

Sunscreen

Spare propeller and the
knowledge of how to properly
change it, if required

Extra clothing for changing
weather conditions

Spare anchor with sufficient line
for the water depth

Mirror

Charts
