UIDELINES
As an owner/operator you should be prepared to handle
any situation which arises before departure, while underway, or upon return to dock. Careful planning will add safety
and pleasure to your experience and give you the confidence to handle emergencies if they develop. Listed below are
some general guidelines which you should follow before any trip:
4.6.1
Pre-Departure
•
Establish a float plan and provide it to a person whom you trust. The plan should give the details of your trip,
including where you are going and when you expect to return. If you deviate from the plan, notify that person
as soon as possible.
•
If you anticipate operating in a new area, understand the local rules and request charts or information on any
hazards you may not be aware of.
•
If you are towing the boat, inspect the trailer including tires, lights, brakes, winch, and overall mechanical
appearance.

•
Verify that you have all necessary safety equipment. This should include all the USCG required equipment as
well as spare parts or other items you decided to include.
•
Check fuel levels and determine if you require additional fuel for your trip.
•
Examine the weight of the gear on your vessel and make sure you are not overloaded. Distribute the weight
evenly on your vessel to ensure predictable performance.
