(NC)—Summer is just around the corner – are
you and your boat prepared? Now is the time to service your boat and ensure its
equipment is up-to-date. Why not take advantage of a pleasure craft courtesy
check?
Courtesy checks are offered
free of charge by Transport Canada or, in some areas of Canada, the Canadian Coast
Guard Auxiliary or other boating and water safety organizations. At your request, a
qualified professional will board your boat and review with you the safety
equipment required by law. Your boat's other equipment will also be inspected and
any deficiencies identified.
Start your summer on a safe
note by getting a courtesy check. More information on courtesy checks and equipment
standards is available at www.boatingsafety.gc.ca or call toll-free
1-800-267-6687.
