The Vessel Safety Check is a
complimentary check of your boat conducted by
members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it
meets both federal and state requirements for
safety.
No citations are issued and the
results of the safety check are not reported to
any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded
to display if the vessel has passed the
examination.
An example of some of the items
checked include:
- Personal Flotation Devices
(life jackets)
- Registration and numbering
- Navigation lights
- Ventilation
- Fire extinguishers
- Distress signals (flares,
horn, etc.)
- Battery cover and
connections
All of these items are currently
required by state and federal laws and, if
missing or non-operating, can result in a
citation if your vessel is inspected by the
Coast Guard.
The Vessel Safety Check gives
you a risk-free way to check that you meet the
legal minimums and to potentially avoid a
citation later.
