Required by Coast Guard

- A throwable cushion
- A BII fire extinguisher
- Flares and remember they have an expiration date on them
Not Required But Good to Have
- An anchor with 3 times the line of the deepest place you intend to anchor.
- Anchor chain at least 10 feet but the length of your boat is better. Makes it easier to set your anchor
- A Racor fuel filter/water separator. Collects any water in your fuel and allows you to drain the bowl.
- A big net  |
Thanks for the info Gerry....I'm glad you can't sleep
I asked the mechanic today to change the fuel filter while it is up there. Should I call him monday and ask him to install the racor filter you mentioned? Is this something I can do myself?
PS Good luck tomorrow
