Seventy percent of recreational boating accidents are caused by
inexperience and lack of knowledge, particularly factors such as
failure to pay attention, carelessness, recklessness, excessive speed,
and failure to watch for hazards. United States Power Squadrons

to learn boat safety, the rules of the road, and boating regulation. In
many states, this safe boating course gives you the knowledge
needed to pass your boat license or safety certification exam. In
addition, many boat insurance companies will offer discounts to
boaters who have successfully completed America’s Boating Course

Get Your Boat Checked...Saturday, June 2, 2012

safety-related accidents. These boating safety equipment
checks are meant to be educational and helpful, and are a
good way to start off the boating season!
