scope:
1. Vessel safety checks are generally performed on recreational boats under 65 feet. Vessel safety check requirements parallel federal and individual state regulations regarding equipment and safety conditions of the vessel.
2. A vessel safety check is not a punitive report, but rather a courtesy safety examination to promote boating safety and awareness. Therefore, vessel examiners do not have any law enforcement authority.
3. A vessel safety check is performed only with the consent of the owner or operator, who must be present at the time of the examination.
4. A vessel safety check does not prohibit the right of any federal, state, or local law enforcement authority to verify the presence and condition of safety equipment.
