Boating Checklist
Don't let a forgotten item or equipment problem spoil your boating trip. Be sure to develop and use a pre-departure checklist. A downloadable version is available here.
Powerboat Pre-Departure Checklist
Before each departure, be sure your boat is in good working condition, is properly equipped for emergencies and that passengers are properly briefed. The Alaska Office of Boating Safety is offering a free Powerboat Pre-Departure Check List to assist boaters in pre-departure preparation.
