Coast Guard Inspections

[Lewis863]

The Auxiliary is resuming inspections by appointment for the season.  The first date available will be Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.  I will be doing them at Treman Marina if you are interested let me know and I will book an appointment for you.  I'm starting at 2PM Sunday in 20 minute increments.

 

Just PM me if you want it done.

PS: Two new big changes... Briannas Law  you need to have a boaters safety card, and if your boat is equipped with a cutoff you must use it on Federal waters which includes Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida.

 

Safe Boating.

Thanks for letting us know.  Didn't know about the new cutoff law... may have to get a longer lanyard, kinda hard to fish solo being attached only a foot from the helm.

Is the cutoff reg only for speeds above 5mph ? In other words not while trolling? ...   Edit   ***  Sorry, did not see the trolling speed post

Lewis, due to a schedule change I now have some time. Do you have any time slots still open for this Sunday to do an inspection?
