Memorial Day weekend is coming up and a lot of people will be on the water for the first time this year. I'm sure there will be wildlife and fisheries agents out as well. So it would be a good idea to make sure that everything on your boat is in order in case you get stopped for an inspection. Here is a list of items required to be in compliance:
Boats (16' - less than 26')
Registration papers current
Valid decals displayed
PFD's (type I, II, III)( Life Jackets) one for each person on board.
Children 16 and under must wear while vessel is underway.
PFD's (type IV) Throw cushion
Engine Cutoff Switch for boat less 26' with hand tiller outboards -
