By law what an I required to carrie. I have a 17' with 70 hp outboard. Do I have to carrie a fire extiguisher? what about insurance? Throwable life preserver? Do I have to be inspected and be able to prove that I have? I know I should have all these and I'm working on it but for now what are the requirements? I've done a few serches and its a little confusing with state and federal law, boat size, outboard size and so on. Any help Thank You.
