Re: The Fishermans Arm's
needadrink....<br />Here, it is mandatory to have a flotation devise for all passengers at the time. The rest of requirements vary on the size of the vessel.<br />Boat is an 18' Starcraft rated for 9 passengers. Fishes 5 comfortably.<br />My boat is required to have an audible horn,jackets for all and lights if out at night.<br />I keep 4 cushions, 6 vests and 3 jackets in the cuddy cabin at all times.<br />I have a dc powered 115 dcb horn and an canned air powered horn along with all running lights (on full time), first aid kit, flares, vhf, gps (just upgraded from luran), radar, flares, manual bilge pump and an automatic bilge pump.<br />If you can't swim, you are still welcome, but, on my boat, you wear a jacket, no exceptions and, as of yet, no complaints.<br />Better to be overly prepared than under.<br />Beer is in da frig.<br />

<br />Edit...<br />Forgot extingushers.... Got 3. Maybe overkill. <br />1 in the cuddy cabin, 1 on port console and 1 on starboard.
