You can outfit your boat with the required safety equipment and know how to use it. You probably can't service an engine in the middle of a river, and you can't put on a life jacket unless you brought one with you.  Boating is supposed to be fun! But, many boaters experience disappointment or even disaster on their first few outings in the spring.  Take the time and start the season right with a boat safety check.
