It also provides you the peace of mind of knowing that you have the required items in case law enforcement or the Coast Guard boards you. The application is based on the current requirements required by “Federal Safety Requirements for Recreational Boaters” as well as the Vessel Safety Check criteria used by the United Sates Coast Guard Auxiliary and the United States Power Squadron.

3.Detailed information about the requirements for your vessel;
4.The ability to save or e-mail the list of needed items for future reference.
