I can't read the list of infractions... the scan isn't good enough for my old eyes..... :rolleyes:

Re: Coast Guard Fines
 

6500.00 for not having a navigation rules book
1100.00 for my life ring being out of date
6500.00 for my fireboy not being serviced with the last 6 months
6500.00 for being short one fire extinguisher

If i provide proof / receipts the fines should be dropped, these are the maxium fines for these violations. trust me on this one the coast guard got my attetion :eek: this was all on my sea ray.

Wow dude... Get that taken care of....

Re: Coast Guard Fines
 

Yep, I got one of those too........ :( I'll see if I can dig it up and post. Mine was for a max of $8,000.00 if I remember right for running through a no wake at a high rate of speed, no running lights, endangerment to life, body and limb, max HP of vessel exceeded, etc... All because I got smart with the officer that pulled me. Almost cost me a DUI but I got the Coast Guard down to $600.00 and the Marine Patrol ticket was $300.00. All because I didn't want to show him my safety equipment....young and dumb !!!! Dave

I think they show the max to scare you and make you realize just how much your life is worth and much more.

It worked for me !!!! Scared the sh*t out of me.....Dave

I got 1800 down to 300 for going fast in a no wake in December in Michigan.38 degrees didn't matter. Pay and learn. NK

I do a courtesy board on my sport-fish with the coast guard once a year just to keep thing up to date and they give you a sticker for your boat. This way then they stop you
you can show them your courtesy board sticker and they will leave you alone
