2. LEGALLY MANDATED MINIMUM

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

Consult your national boating law enforcement

agency.

The following equipment is the minimum required

by the U.S. Coast Guard for a boat less than 26’

[7.9 meters] in length.

Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s): One Coast

Guard approved Type I, II or LLL device is mandatory

for each person aboard. One throwable Type LV

device is also required to be on board. A Type V

device is acceptable if worn for approved use. See

Page 1.5 for a description of these PFD

classifications. Always wear a PFD when boating.

Fire Extinguisher - Portable: If no fixed fire

extinguishing system is installed in the engine and

generator spaces, the U.S. Coast Guard requires

one (1) Type B-1 fire extinguisher be on board.

The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)

recommends that you have two (2) Type ABC fire

extinguishers on board. One is to be located at the

helm station and the other in the cabin, near the

cockpit door.

Whistle, Horn: You must have on board some

means of making a loud sound signal, for example,

whistle or horn.

Visual Distress Signals: If you operate your boat

in coastal waters or on the Great Lakes, you must

have visual distress signals for day and night use

on board. At least three (3) U.S. Coast Guard

approved pyrotechnic devices marked with date

showing service life must be carried, be readily

accessible, in serviceable condition and not expired.

Store pyrotechnic signals in a well-marked

waterproof container in a dry location.

Other: Your Sea Ray is equipped with the required

navigation lights, engine exhaust and ventilation

systems.

3. FIRE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT

Your boat must be equipped with the fire

extinguishing equipment mandated by the U.S.

Coast Guard. Your boat is equipped with a fire

extinguisher discharge port located on the port side

(right side facing forward) of the engine box.

IF A FIRE IS SUSPECTED, IMMEDIATELY SHUT

DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED VENTILATION,

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND EXTINGUISH ALL

SMOKING MATERIALS.

IF THERE IS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE

COMPARTMENT DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE

BOX. THIS WOULD FEED OXYGEN TO THE

FIRE AND THE FIRE COULD RESTART.

DISCHARGE PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER

THROUGH THE DISCHARGE PORT ON THE

ENGINE BOX.

Wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before opening

the engine compartment. This gives the

compartment long enough for hot metals and fuels

to cool. Have portable extinguishers at hand and

ready to use in case the fire reignites. Do not

breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire.
