maybe take the key out off the ignition to just to prove your not going to drive anywhere.

It shouldn't matter if your anchored, keys out of ignition. There is no law I know of that says you can't get completely piss drunk on your own boat. We do it all the time... :eekdrop::whistle:

When I took my course it was legal for the person running the boat to have a small amount of alcohol and be legal, I think that may have changed... but not sure..

Perfectly legal, you can drink while driving the boat as long as your under .08 and anchored with the key out of the ignition you can get as drunk as u want

As long as the engine isn't running they can't do a thing.keys mean nothing.you're allowed .08 like a vehicle.only difference between a car and boat is you're passengers can drink.the operator just can't while underway.

99.99% sure operator can not have an open container while underway. Although the conservation are pretty easy going around me.I've never even been stopped
