cell phone, fire extinguisher, ventillation system, PFD's, half naked ladies, a boat plug, good swimmers,insurance, and half naked ladies.... did I win?
Okay,1. PFD's, 2. Fire extinguisher(in working order Delw), 3.Ventilation for bilge, 4.flame arrestor, 5. muffler. I would have said lights but that would apply only if operating the watercraft after dusk. What do we win?
If it is a watercraft, then you must have PFDs for all on board (type I, II, or III)
If it is motorized, then it must be registered, have the current numbers and decal, and carry the current registration on board. To be registered, it must have a HIN.
If it is 16 feet or longer, then it must have a type IV throwable PFD
If it is motorized and has an enclosed fuel tank, then it must have a type B-I fire extinguisher.
IIRC, the requirements for noisemakers/signalling devices are USCG Regs for navigable waterways - not required under ARS or AZG&F Regs.
Sorry folks, i have worked about 52 hrs in the last 3 days at the prison and finally got to go home to shower and sleep. Tryin to unwind now so here is the answer.
1- current registration paper on board.
2- valid registration numbers on the boat
3- working fire extinguisher
4-USCG approved PFD for each occupant
5-Type 4 throwable PFD
Ahhh, Boat Cop I know how you feel....
Last time I worked 52 hours straight, I had sand in my crack, and had to take a shower in a leaky portable trailer that smelled like butt. The MRE's were pretty good though. Saudi was so much fun!
