Equipment requirements for coastal and inland waters differ. Check with local
authorities and/or the USCG for further information about coastal water requirements.
The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 (FBSA/71) and the National Recreation
Boating Safety Program have established minimum safety standards for boats
and associated equipment, specified by the USCG. In addition, the American
Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and the National Marine Manufacturers
Association (NMMA) work with boat builders to develop voluntary standards
that exceed the USCG requirements. The included safety equipment on your
boat meets or exceeds the standards of the USCG, ABYC and the NMMA.
Some required safety equipment, such as life jackets (PFDs), are not included
with your boat. Your dealer can help you choose the appropriate equipment.
Many states’ equipment requirements go
beyond USCG requirements. Contact your
state boating office for further information.
Navigation Lights
Your boat is equipped with navigational lights. Recreational
boats are required to display navigational lights between
sunset and sunrise and other periods of reduced visibility (fog,
rain, haze, etc.). Navigation lights are provided to keep other
boats informed of your presence and course. It is up to you to make sure they
are operational, displayed correctly, and turned on when required.
Emergency Safety Stop Switch
Your boat is equipped with an Emergency Safety Lanyard (cutoff switch).
We recommend that the lanyard be secured to the operator and the lock
plate attached to the emergency cutoff switch prior to starting the engine
and anytime the engine is operating. The Emergency Safety Lanyard is
designed to turn off the engine whenever the operator moves far enough
away from the helm to activate the switch. The purpose is to stop the engine,
propeller, and boat in the event the operator leaves the helm location, falls
overboard, or is ejected from the boat. If the engine is stopped it will prevent
the boat from becoming a run-away, unmanned boat, which may cause
injury or death to boat occupants who have fallen overboard or been ejected,
or to other nearby people. If the engine stops it will minimize the subsequent
opportunity for propeller contact with the operator or other persons in the
water. If the engine and boat stop it will afford opportunity for the operator
or other persons who have fallen overboard to safely re-board the boat.
It is recommended that you use the
Emergency Safety Lanyard system as
failure to do so can cause death or serious
injury. DO NOT operate the boat if the
Emergency Safety Lanyard system does not function properly.
