Fixed engine compartment fire extinguishing systems count as one type B-1 extinguisher. Fire extinguishers also expire and lose pressure, check them each boating season. Again, these are minimum requirements. We are proud of boat operators that exceed the above safety requirements and they should be examples to others. Wakes are what your boat produces when it moves through the water.
Wakes can damage other boats, and in some cases, cause personal injury or death.
Kitsap County Ordinance 10.36.130 prohibits creating a wake or operating a vessel greater than 7 nautical miles per hour within 150 feet of any pier, breakwater, or shoreline. Boat operators are responsible for any and all damage caused by their wake. What some may not realize is that boating generally compounds the effects of alcohol unlike what a person on land might feel. All of these stressors can be present at night, with the exception of sun glare. At night, additional stressors such as, dark adaptation, moon glare, and background lighting are present.
