G. Sound Signaling Devices
NOTICE
Do not test fire extinguishers by squirting small
amounts of the extinguishing compound. The
fire extinguisher might not work when you re-
ally need it.
Sportboats less than 26 feet (7.9m) are required to carry
a hand, mouth or power operated horn or whistle. It
must produce a blast of two-second duration and au-
dible at a distance of at least one-half (1/2) mile.
All Class 1 powerboats (16 to less than 26 feet) are
required to carry one (1) B-1 type hand portable fire
extinguisher unless the boat is equipped with a fixed
fire extinguishing system in the engine compartment.
The following are standard whistle signals:
•One Prolonged Blast Warning Signal
•One Short Blast
•Two Short Blasts
•Three Short Blasts

Visual Distress Signal Devices
•Five or More Blasts Danger Signal
Visual distress signal devices approved by the U.S.
Coast Guard are required on all recreational boats op-
erating on coastal waters and to boats owned in the
United States when they are operating on the high seas.
Coastal waters include territorial seas and those wa-
ters directly connected to the Great Lakes and the ter-
ritorial seas up to a point where the waters are less
than two miles (3.2km) wide. Visual distress signal
equipment may be of the pyrotechnic or non-pyrotech-
nic type. Regulations prohibit display of visual distress
signals on the water under any circumstances except
when assistance is required to prevent immediate or
potential danger to persons on board a vessel.
H. Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are intended to keep other vessels
informed of your presence and course. If you are out
on the water between sunset and sunrise, you are re-
quired to display appropriate navigation lights.
