What do I legally need in my boat for Lake MI?

Jimmy Posted 10/21/2010 1:21 PM (#94871) Subject: What do I legally need in my boat for Lake MI? Figured I'd ask the experts. What do I need to have in my 16 ft boat to be legal on Lake MI? I'm guessing flares for sure, do I need a radio? Thanks for any insight. jerry Posted 10/21/2010 2:22 PM (#94873 - in reply to #94871) Subject: RE: What do I legally need in my boat for Lake MI?

The list includes: flares that are inside the expiration date, marine fire extinguisher, horn or whistle, proper classification of life jacket/floatation, a throwable floatation, and proper running lights.
