Member Posts: 744 | Can anyone post a link to where I can find the equipment requirements for the Great Lakes? (flares, etc.) I looked in the WI DNR fishing and boating regs, but didn't see them. Just want to make sure I am all set before heading up to Green Bay....Thanks much- Dave S | ||

Member Posts: 1406 | Thumper, these are the same things that are required for boating on the Winnebago system as well, just thought I would throw that in as many have not complied yet! ALL federal waters require these safety devices and quite frankly all boaters should carry them wherever you go. Good luck Tyee | ||

Member Posts: 744 | Thanks for the links. I thought I had heard something regarding a tow rope also? Not a big deal as I have one of those. I believe I actually have everything required, I just wanted to make sure. The Federal regs don't seem to be enforced much here (Winnebago). The DNR was checking boats last year in the FLW tournament on Green Bay, so beware. Dave S | ||

YOU ARE REQUIRED ON GREAT LAKES TO HAVE LIFE VEST FOR ANY PASSINGERS ALSO 3 FLARES, CRAFT 16' OR GREATER MUST HAVE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, ALSO MUST HAVE A THROWABLE DEVICE ON BOARD WITH ROPE.. ANY PASSENGER ON THE GREAT LAKES UNDER 17 YEARS MUST HAVE LIFE JACKET ON AT ALL TIMES, THEY WILL TICKET YOU!!! | |||
