if the certificate of number is lost/destroyed; or if the owner’s
address has changed. If the certificate of number becomes invalid
for any reason, it must be surrendered in the manner prescribed to
the issuing authority within 15 days.
ACCIDENT REPORTING
Federal law requires the boat operator to file a boating accident
report with the state reporting authority when, as a result of an
occurrence that involves a boat or its equipment:
• A person dies
• A person disappears from the vessel under circumstances that
indicate death or injury
• A person is injured and requires medical treatment beyond
first aid
• Damage to vessels and other property totals $2,000 or more
(the amount may be lower in some states and territories; verify
with local boating authorities)
• The boat is destroyed
If the boat operator is deceased or unable to make the report,
the boat owner is required to file the report.
Your responsibility does not end with your own craft. You are
required by law to respond to any distress signal, visual or
auditory. Render immediate assistance, EXCEPT in instances
in which you and your passengers will be endangered or those
situations that exceed your capabilities or the capabilities of
your boat. Good Samaritan protection is provided to boaters who
provide good faith assistance and protects them from civil liability
for assistance given.
SPEEDING AND NOISE
Some states and boating areas have imposed speed limits for
operation of boats, including but not limited to no-wake zones.
Noise regulations may also be imposed. It is the responsibility
of the boat operator to be familiar with any and all laws and
regulations and to obey them. The U.S. Coast Guard is an excellent
source for this information, including penalties for failure
to observe the requirements.
