| If fishing a lot of Canadian waters. I always have lighters sealed in a bag and two of those thermal blankets. The blankets come folded up in a small pouch no bigger than a picture on your desk. Keep these items in your tackle box. That way if your a boat renter they are still always with you.

| Be careful with bug spray!!!! The deet or some other chemical in there will "pit" and eat away plastic as well as locator/GPS screens. If people do have to use it, over the side and if there's any breeze, account for it. The stuff is evil.
The one thing that every boat must have is a...PLAN of what to do should someone fall overboard.Communicate with boat partners. This is even more important when water temps are low, early and late in the season. Steve |

Its the law to have a fire extinguisher in any boat over 16 feet long, isn't it?
The training recieved prior to obtaining the aformentioned Boater Safety Certificate would teach you:
Coast Guard approved extinguishers required for boats are hand portable, either B-I or B-II classification and have a specific marine type mounting bracket. It is recommended the extinguishers be mounted in a readily accessible position, away from the areas where a fire could likely start such as the galley or the engine compartment.
Extinguisher markings can be confusing because extinguishers can be approved for several different types of hazards. For instance, an extinguisher marked "Type A, Size II, Type B:C, Size I" is a B-I extinguisher.
Look for the part of the label that says "Marine Type USCG"
Make sure Type B is indicated
Portable extinguishers will be either size I or II. Size III and larger are too big for use on most recreational boats.
Fire Extinguishers are required on boats when any of the following conditions exist:
Inboard engines are installed.
There are closed compartments and compartments under seats where portable fuel tanks may be stored.
There are double bottoms not sealed to the hull or which are not completely filled with flotation materials.
There are closed living spaces.
There are closed stowage compartments in which combustible or flammable materials are stored.
There are permanently installed fuel tanks. (Fuel tanks secured so they cannot be moved in case of fire or other emergency are considered permanently installed. There are no gallon capacity limits to determine if a fuel tank is portable. If the weight of a fuel tank is such that persons on board cannot move it, the Coast Guard considers it permanently installed.)
