Question

Eq-53 which safety precaution should be taken first by a boat operator when boating in stormy weather?

Answer 1

The answer is Make sure all aboard are wearing USCG-approved PFDs. And also Make sure all aboard are wearing USCG-approved life jackets. On a vessel underway, children under 13 must wear an appropriate Coast Guard-approved PFD, unless they are below decks or in an enclosed cabin. Life jackets must be Coast Guard-approved, in serviceable condition and the appropriate size for the intended user.
