Non-Pyrotechnic Devices
Non-Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be in serviceable condition, readily accessible, and certified by
the manufacturer as complying with U.S. Coast Guard requirements. They include:
• Orange Distress Flag (Day use only)
The distress flag is a day signal only. It must be at least 3 x 3 feet with a black square and ball on an orange
background. It is most distinctive when attached and waved from a paddle or boat hook.
• Electric Distress Light (Night use only)
The electric distress light is accepted for night use only and must automatically flash the international SOS
distress signal. Under Inland Navigation Rules, a high intensity white light flashing at regular intervals
from 50-70 times per minute is considered a distress signal.
Sound Signaling Devices
The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Recreational vessels also
are required to sound fog signals during periods of reduced visibility. Therefore, you must have some means
of making an efficient sound signal.
Navigation Lights
Recreational boats are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and other periods of
reduced visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.) Navigation lights are intended to keep other vessels informed of your
presence and course. Your Pursuit is equipped with the navigation lights required by the U.S. Coast Guard
at the time of manufacture. It is up to you to make sure they are operational and turned on when required.
Fire Extinguishers
At least one fire extinguisher is required on all Pursuit boats. Coast Guard approved fire extinguishers are
hand-portable, either B-I or B-II classification and have a specific marine type mounting bracket. It is
recommended the extinguishers be mounted in a readily accessible position.
Fire extinguishers require regular inspections to ensure that:
• Seals & tamper indicators are not broken or missing.
• Pressure gauges or indicators read in the operable range.
• There is no obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage or clogged nozzles.
Refer to the “Federal Requirements And Safety Tips For Recreational Boats” pamphlet or contact the U.S.
Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline, 1-800-368-5647, for information on the type and size fire extinguisher
required for your boat.
Please refer to the information provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer for instructions on the proper
maintenance and use of your fire extinguisher.
