SAFETY INFORMATION
Visual Distress Signal Devices
Visual distress signal devices ap-
proved by the U.S. Coast Guard are re-
quired on all recreational boats operat-
ing on coastal waters and on boats
owned in the United States when they
are operating on the high seas. Coastal
waters include territorial seas and
those waters directly connected to the
Great Lakes and the territorial seas up
to a point where the waters are less
than 3.2 km (2 m.) wide. Visual distress
signal equipment may be of the pyro-
technic or non-pyrotechnic type. Reg-
ulations prohibit display of visual dis-
tress signals on the water under any
circumstances except when assis-
tance is required to prevent immediate
or potential danger to persons on
board a vessel.
The equipment must be approved by
the U.S. Coast Guard, be in serviceable
condition, and be stowed in a readily
accessible location. Equipment having
a date for serviceable life must be with-
in the specified usage date shown.
Careful selection and proper stowage
of visual distress equipment is very im-
portant if children are aboard.
Sound Signaling Devices
NOTE:
No single signaling device is
appropriate for all purposes. Consider
keeping various types of equipment on
board.
Boats less than 7.9 m (26 ft) in length
are required to carry a hand, mouth, or
power operated horn or whistle. It
must produce a blast of two second
duration and audible at a distance of at
least 0.8 km (1/2 m.).
Following are standard whistle signals:
– one prolonged blast
(warning signal)
– one short blast
(pass on my port side)
– two short blasts
(pass on my starboard side)
– three short blasts
(engines in reverse)
– five or more blasts
(danger signal).
Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are intended to keep
other vessels informed of your pres-
ence and course. If you are out on the
water between sunset and sunrise,
you are required to display appropriate
navigation lights.
