Minimum Required Safety Equipment
The US Coast Guard (USCG) requires that every boat have specific equipment on board. Check
with local regulations on mandatory equipment apart from the list of Coast Guard requirements.
See Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual, page 23, for details on the following minimum
required safety equipment.
•
Fire Extinguisher
Boats should be equipped with marine approved fire extinguishers.
•
Personal Flotation
All passengers must have an USCG approved personal flotation device (PFD). The Coast
Guard requires children under 13 years old and not within an enclosed cabin below decks
to wear a PFD on a boat that is underway. The laws of your state may be more stringent. It
is your obligation to know and comply with the PFD laws and regulations applicable in the
states in which you operate.
•
Children and non-swimmers are advised to wear a PFD at all times.
•
Sound Signaling Device (Horn, Bell Or Whistle)
Your Grady-White is equipped with a horn that meets USCG requirements.
•
Visual Distress Signals
USCG approved visual distress signals are required on U. S. waters. See page 42 of the
pamphlet Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual enclosed with this manual for more
information.
•
Lighting
Grady-White boats are equipped with navigational lights that meet requirements for
recreational vessels for inland and international waters.
Additional Recommended Equipment
In addition to the required safety equipment, there are additional items that will provide an
extra margin of safety and convenience for you and your passengers while boating. For an extended
list of basic gear, tools and spare parts, reference page 24 of the pamphlet Sportfish, Cruisers,
Yachts Owner’s Manual
enclosed with this manual.
Keep tools and spare parts in good condition. Replace parts removed from the spare parts kit.
Most importantly, use US Coast Guard approved or marine certified parts where applicable.
Conditions found requiring corrective action should be worked on by a qualified repairman.
