AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 30
Safety Equipment
Federal law requires certain safety equipment to be on-board your
boat at all times. Responsible boaters carry additional equipment
in case of emergency. It is your responsibility to check with the
local boating authorities for any additional requirements and/or
equipment over and above the federal requirements.
Required Equipment
Your Aviara boat was equipped at the factory with most of the
federally required safety equipment for inland waters (Class II,
26-foot-to-40-foot watercraft). This equipment includes:
• USCG-approved (United States Coast Guard) marine
flame arrestor
• USCG-approved engine box ventilation with ignition
protected blower
• ABYC-approved electric horn sound-warning device
• USCG-approved inland lighting
• Automatic and manual fire extinguishers
Recommended
Equipment
The responsible boat owner will avoid potential problems on
an outing by having additional equipment on board. Normally,
the decision regarding the appropriate equipment to take on
individual outings is dependent upon the body of water and the
length of the trip. We suggest the following equipment as a
minimum (your Aviara dealer can also assist you with additional
recommendations):
• Anchor with at least 75 feet of line (in saltwater
operation, particularly)
• Manual bailing device for removing water
• Combination oar/boat hook
• Day-and-night visual distress signal
• First aid kit and manual
• Airway breathing tube
• Waterproof flashlight
• Non-electric horn or whistle
• Set of local navigational charts
