Keeping boaters out of hot water
From the Janesville Gazette HERE
...Another boater had six adults and children in a boat rated for five passengers. The boater also was towing three children on a tube. The three on the tube were legal, but the boat had:
-- Adult-sized PFDs for some of the children.
-- A fire extinguisher with no charge in it.
-- Uncovered battery terminals
...The deputies stopped their first boat because someone was sitting up on a rear deck. It's illegal to sit on gunwales or certain other parts of the boat while it's under way.
Pyne also discovered the boat had no Coast Guard-approved PFD that could be thrown, and he issued a $148 citation for that.
