Most boating accidents occur in open motorboats of 16 feet or less in length; and hunters are more likely to drown than to die from an accidental gunshot wound.
This course addresses the factors that contribute to boating accidents while hunting or fishing. Topics covered include loading and maneuvering your boat, anchoring, lights, visual distress signals, sound producing devices, capsizing, swamping, and man overboard. Learn about the new Engine Cut Off Switch law; and how to avoid the dangers of hypothermia.
This is a classroom course, not an on-the-water course, and does not provide actual underway experience.
