This boating fatal risk checklist helps field teams verify that critical controls and equipment are in place before launching a vessel. It covers operator fitness for duty, licensing and training, weather and tide checks, route submissions and passenger lists, fuel sufficiency, and hull integrity. Required safety gear includes PFDs for all occupants, heaving line, anchor and rope, boat plug, re-boarding device, flashlight, first aid kit, charged fire extinguisher, bailer or bilge pump, manual propelling device, sound signaling device, flares as required, navigation lights, and a magnetic compass. The checklist also confirms secure motor mounting, use and testing of the automatic shutoff device, proper load stowage, and awareness of emergency procedures.
