Coast guard Auxilliary or Power Squdron Boating Safety Classes!!!!!!!
Cant beat em.

Electrical fire WILL burn in on/under/water that would be a class C fire. Most boats are only required to have a Class B extinguisher. A class B extinguisher wont work on on a class C fire. The courtesy vessel exams only inspect/address the bare minimum of of required equirement. What the class will teach you is take the extra caution and have a class C on board and know when to use it. It does nothing for the half witts operating most boats. What they would recommend during the inspections is to participate in the classes so as to educate the Boaters AND Passengers.

Might look like Ive been drinking the Coast Guard Cool-Aide BUT every boater WOULD benefit form what they have to offer. Look for a class in your area.
