both. Civil lawsuits in cases of property damage or injury/death to others can result in significantly more serious penalties.
Intoxication from drugs, including legal
prescription drugs
, is an equally serious matter and is dealt with as seriously as alcohol.
REGISTRATION, NUMBERING, AND DOCUMENTATION
Although it might not be immediately obvious as to how this relates to boating safety, in fact it can be critical in emergencies.
All undocumented vessels equipped with propulsion machinery must be registered in the state of principal use. A certificate
of number will be issued upon registering the vehicle. These numbers must be displayed on your vessel. The owner/operator
of the vessel must carry a valid certificate of number whenever the vessel is in use. When moving to a new state of principal
use, the certificate is valid for 60 days. Check with your state boating authority for registration requirements. Numbers must
be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward half of the vessel. The validation stickers must be affixed
within six inches of the registration number. With the exception of the vessel fee decal, no other letters or numbers may be
displayed nearby. Lettering must be in plain, vertical block characters of not less than three (3) inches in height. Spaces or
hyphens between letter and number groupings must be equal to the width of a letter other than “i” or a number other than
“1.” The owner of a vessel must notify the agency which issued the certificate of number within fifteen (15) days if the vessel
is transferred, destroyed, abandoned, lost, stolen, or recovered, or if the certificate of number is lost, destroyed or the
owner’s address 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.
