♦ You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal fl otation
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 specifi cally
designed as a seat. While underway, ALWAYS insist passengers remain
seated.
♦ Use maximum caution when fueling. Never allow any smoke
or fl ame nearby while you are fueling. ALWAYS check for
fuel leaks and fumes when fueling is completed.
