ABYC ANNOUNCES UPDATED USCG REGULATIONS FOR RECREATIONAL BOATS
Apr 14, 2020
An essential reference tool, this volume contains the pertinent parts of the Regulation (Title 33 and 46, Code of Federal Regulations) and Law (Title 46, United States Code), that govern the USCG Boating Safety Program.
This book contains information of defect notification, hull identification numbers, manufacturer certification of compliance, capacity, testing electrical systems, fuel systems, ventilation, PFDs, visual distress signals, fire extinguishers, and much more.
One big change is the manufacturing requirements for all recreational boats less than 26 feet capable of producing more than 115 pounds of thrust to have an engine cut-off device per ABYC A-33, Emergency Engine/Propulsion Cut-off Devices (2018). As these requirements take effect in the middle of model year 2020, builders need to pay special attention to implementation.
