Default Boating safety reminder?

Weathers is getting better finally!!! So everyones getting back on the water!

Make sure all your safety gear is up to date!!!
Extra fuses for your motor. Spares tire is aired up!
Check Safety chains!
Check prop nut make sure pin is in good shape!


I suggest getting an an extra kill switch lanyard and rap it around your steering will column, in cadlse you get thrown out.
Whoever is in the boat can crank it up and get to you. uploadfromtaptalk1395473894116.jpg

Respect the commercial boats and know the rules of the road. It takes them a loooooong time to stop if you lose power while doing figure eights to decide where you're gonna go.

That captain doesn't want to kill you (his career and life is screwed), and none of us want to deal with thousands and thousands of barrels of oil in the water because of a captain having to avoid your little boat...

This is a hot topic at towing industry and coast guard meetings, you'd be surprised at how much a captain has to deal with when rec boats are in the mix... Respect the man and just know he is working while you are fishing.

Another good thing to check are your trailer bearings. Make sure they are fully packed with high-temp water resistant grease. May wanna pull your wheels off & re-pack your bearings.
