Take the free boating safety course offered by the Coast Guard. Sessions are held on a regular schedule at the Marine Patrol headquarters in Gilford. In just two 4-hour evenings, you can learn the fundamentals of safe inland boating, and get a certificate that's recognized in every state in the U.S. Call 603-293-2037 for more information.
Know your boat. Know the safety equipment you're required to carry, and where it is. Know how many passengers your boat will hold safely. Educate your passengers about the use of personal flotation devices (or PFDs). Carry extra bulbs for your running lights.
Know the Lake. Always carry your Navigation Chart with you. Make sure you have the latest edition!
- Do not operate a boat when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Studies prove that boaters begin to show definite signs of impairment with alcohol levels much lower than the legal limit. Besides, the Marine Patrol is empowered to stop a boat on the slightest suspicion that the operator is impaired.
Did you know that the State can suspend your driver's license if you're caught operating a boat under the influence? Is that beer worth it?
- Remember that your boat cannot legally go faster than 6 mph when you are within 150 feet of any object, including the shore, another vessel (of any kind), a dock, float, swimmer, raft, or mooring field. Lieutenant Dunleavy tells us that most boating tickets are for Safe Passage violations!
