Sound Signaling Devices
The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Recreational
vessels also are required to sound fog signals during periods of reduced visibility. Therefore, you
must have some means of making an efficient sound signal.
Navigation Lights
Recreational boats are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and other
periods of reduced visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.) Navigation lights are intended to keep other
vessels informed of your presence and course. Your Pursuit is equipped with the navigation
lights required by the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of manufacture. It is up to you to make sure
they are operational and turned on when required.
Fire Extinguishers
At least one fire extinguisher is required on all Pursuit boats. Coast Guard approved fire
extinguishers are hand-portable, either B-I or B-II classification and have a specific marine type
mounting bracket. It is recommended the extinguishers be mounted in a readily accessible
position.
Fire extinguishers require regular inspections to ensure that:
• Seals & tamper indicators are not broken or missing.
• Pressure gauges or indicators read in the operable range.
• There is no obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage or clogged nozzles.
Refer to the “Federal Requirements And Safety Tips For Recreational Boats” pamphlet or
contact the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline, 1-800-368-5647, for information on the
type and size fire extinguisher required for your boat.
Please refer to the information provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer for instructions
on the proper maintenance and use of your fire extinguisher.
