Safety information

According to the USCG, boats under 6.1 m (20 ft) in length like your watercraft MUST carry a fire extinguisher of a B-1 classifica- tion, with a capacity of two pounds or more when navigating in waters under USCG ju- risdiction. In addition, most state and local boating laws also require that the fire extin- guisher be approved by the USCG.

A towline can be used to tow a disabled wa- tercraft in an emergency.
