♦ You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal flotation
device (PFD) for every person on board. These PFD’s should
be in good condition and easily accessible.
♦ ♦
♦ ♦
♦ Insist that non-swimmers and children on board wear a PFD at all
times. Any time you encounter rough weather conditions, make
sure everyone on board is wearing a PFD, including yourself.
Instruct your passengers in how to put on their PFDs and be sure
they know their storage location on the boat. Remember, in an
emergency, a PFD that cannot be quickly located and worn is
useless.
♦ Never allow anyone to sit anywhere on the boat not specifically
designed a seat. While underway, ALWAYS insist passengers
remain seated.

♦ Use maximum caution when fueling. Never allow any smoke or
flame nearby while you are fueling. ALWAYS check for fuel leaks
and fumes when fueling is completed.
