Thread: boat inspection by the coast guard

In bass events on the great lakes, they will have two automatic 1000gph bilge pumps plus a manual
pump if they have room in the bilge, then they will mount 2 auto pumps on the floor of the boat.

coast gaurd regs. are for all inland waterways. Thier regs are stricter than state. also boats over a certian length are required to have at least 3 signaling devices. flares ,radio smoke etc. If they let you go it was at thier own discretion.
