WHAT SAFETY ACCESSORIES ARE REQUIRED OR RECOMMENDED? |
---|
The number one question Boaters Outlet gets asked from many boaters is what gear and/or accessories do I need to buy or have on my boat to be legal on the water. Well it’s pretty much black and white when it comes to required gear (see our list below), but for recommended gear, it’s a bit more of a gray area based on your boating preference. Different families may require or recommend different accessories based off of their favorite boating activities. But don't worry we’re here to help you understand the accessories that are important to have on your boat no matter how you choose to spend your time on the water. |
