Sound Producing Devices

The navigation rules

require sound signals to

be made under certain

circumstances. Meeting,

crossing and overtaking

situations, which will be

described in some detail

shortly, are examples of

when sound signals are required. Recre-

ational vessels are also required to sound

signals during periods of reduced visibility.

Your MasterCraft boat is equipped with a

horn, but you may also purchase aftermar-

ket devices in case of potential electrical

disconnect or failure.

Note: The requirement to carry a bell on

board no longer applies to vessels operat-

ing on International Waters.

The following are standard signals when

using a whistle:

One prolonged blast: warning.

One short blast: Pass on my port side.

Two short blasts: pass on my starboard

side.

Three short blasts: my engines are in re-

verse.

Five or more blasts: danger!

Visual Distress Signals

All vessels used on coastal waters, the

Great Lakes, territorial seas and those wa-

ters connected directly to them up to a

point where a body of water is greater than

two miles wide, must be equipped with

U.S.C.G.-approved visual distress signals.

Vessels owned in the United States but oper-

ating on the high seas must be equipped with

U.S.C.G.-approved visual distress signals.

Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must

be Coast Guard-approved, in serviceable

condition and readily accessible. This

means that:

• They are marked with an expiration

date. Expired signals may be carried as

extra equipment, but cannot be counted

toward meeting the visual distress signal

requirement, since they may be unreli-

able.

• If pyrotechnic devices are selected, a

minimum of three are required. That is,

three signals for day use and three sig-

nals for night. Some pyrotechnic signals

meet both day and night use require-

ments.

• Pyrotechnic devices should be stored in

a cool, dry location, if possible. A water-

tight container painted red or orange and

prominently marked “Distress Signals”

or “Flares” is recommended.

U.S.C.G.-approved pyrotechnic visual

distress signals and associated devices in-

clude pyrotechnic red ares, hand-held or

aerial; pyrotechnic orange smoke, hand-

held or oating, or launchers for aerial red

meteors or parachute ares.

Non-pyrotechnic devices may be al-

lowed. These include an orange distress

ag (day signal only) or an electric distress

light (which is acceptable for night use).

Use of these devices must still meet Coast

Guard requirements, information for which

is available online and from the Coast

Guard.

Under Inland Navigation Rules, a high

intensity white light ashing at regular

intervals from 50-70 times per minute is

considered a distress signal. Such devices
