Guide to Safe Boating: Part 3

Today we continue the Guide to Safe Boating!


  • Sound Signals
    • All vessels are required to have sound producing devices (either a horn or a whistle) and they must use these during times of low visibility or during emergencies
  • Navigational Lights
    • Vessels must use navigational lights between sunset and sunrise and during periods of low visibility
    • Your boat must display the red and green lights at the front and the white light at the back of the boat
  • Pollution Regulations
    • Do not throw your trash out in the water, throw it in a trash can
    • Report any spills of oil or gas
  • Marine Sanitation Devices
    • If your boat has a bathroom, then the manufacturer had to make sure the sewage is kept in a safe place until you can dump it
The next safe boating post will be on navigation rules so stay tuned!
