Following up on our SeaDoo Safety Tips from earlier this week, Sea-Doo is also getting riders ready for a fun, and safe, summer, with the annual runthrough of essential summer safety gear.
Besides complying with state boating regulations, having the proper safety gear onboard can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major on-water emergency. Responsible boaters never leave the dock without the equipment to ensure they get home safe every time they hit the water. Here are three must-have’s for every ride.
Sea-Doo Safety Kit – This kit includes four critical safety items in an easy-to-stow container. Fifty feet of buoyant heaving line, a bailer, whistle, and watertight flashlight augment legally mandated equipment to ensure you have the right tools to deal with an emergency on the water.
Sea-Doo PFDs – Perhaps the single most important piece of safety gear on any vessel, a personal flotation device, or lifevest, is the key to preventing drowning and increasing the chance of being rescued alive if separated from your vessel. Sea-Doo has an extensive selection of comfortable water sports PFDs for any size, style, and budget.
LinQ Fuel Caddy – While a slightly less obvious safety item, a fuel caddy can make the difference between getting back to the dock under your own power or needing assistance from others. Utilizing BRP’s versatile LinQ mounting system, the 3.8 Gal fuel caddy ensures you have extra fuel to help yourself or a fellow boater if you get caught up in the fun and lose track of your fuel status.
