The following topics are all covered in a Vessel Safety Check: Vessel Registration, Personal Flotation Devices, Fire Extinguishers, Ventilation, Backfire Flame Control, Sound Producing Devices, Navigation Lights, Pollution Placard, MARPOL Trash Placard, Marine Sanitation Devices, Overall Vessel condition, and State and/ or Local Requirements.

The Vessel Examiner is a trained specialist and is a member of United States Power Squadrons. The examiner will also make certain recommendations and discuss certain safety issues that will make you a safer boater. If your boat passes the examination, you will receive a VSC decal for your boat.
