We just bought a waverunner, in the safe boating guide says you need an sound signalling or flares, a paddle or an anchor, life jacket, fire extinguisher, heaving line.... But then says if the operator and passengers have a fitting life jacket the only safety equipment required is a sound signalling device, flashlight, nav light for night, a magnetic compass if lose sight of land.
So has anyone had any problems with officers interpreting it that you need all the extra equipment?
What are your thoughts Odot?
