Personal Watercraft Insurance, Required Equipment
Sunday, Oct. 6th 2013 8:36 AM
Each state has its own list of equipment that must be kept on the boat at all times. However, there is one piece of safety equipment that needs to be on every boat – at least one life jacket or personal flotation device for each person on board. In most states, any flotation device must be Coast Guard approved. And, they must also be easy to access.
