8.7 Additional Safety Equipment
Besides meeting the legal requirements, prudent boaters carry additional safety equipment. This
is particularly important if you operate your boat offshore. You should consider the following
items, depending on how you use your boat.
Satellite EPIRBs
EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) operate as part of a worldwide distress
system. When activated, EPIRBs will send distress code homing beacons that allow Coast Guard
aircraft to identify and find them quickly. The satellites that receive and relay EPIRB signals are
operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States.
The EPIRB should be mounted and registered according to the instructions provided with the
beacon, so that the beacon's unique distress code can be used to quickly identify the boat and owner.
Additional Equipment to Consider:
VHF Radio Life Raft Spare Anchor
Heaving Line Fenders First Aid Kit
Flashlight Mirror Searchlight
Sunburn Lotion Tool Kit Ring Buoy
Whistle or Horn Anchor Chart and Compass
Boat Hook Spare Propeller Mooring Lines
Food & Water Binoculars Sunglasses
Marine Hardware Extra Clothing Spare Parts
8.8 Maximum Capacity Rating
Your Pursuit is equipped with a “Maximum Capacities” plate, which is permanently attached to
the cockpit near the helm. The plate indicates the maximum horsepower and load capacity for your
boat. Never exceed the limits dictated by the information provided on the capacity plate.
IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OVERLOAD OR OVERPOWER YOUR BOAT. BOATS
THAT ARE OVERLOADED OR OVERPOWERED CAN BECOME UNSTABLE OR DIFFICULT
TO CONTROL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOAT IS LOADED AND POWERED
WITHIN THE LIMITS SHOWN ON YOUR BOAT’S CAPACITY PLATE.
