According to the navigation rules a 22 foot powerboat should have running lights," so it can be seen by bigger boats and for night time running", floatation devices, " incase the boat starts to sink and has to be abandoned", flares, " for distress signals", waterproof radio attached to belt, " this is so that someone can try and contact help just in case something happens", fire extinguisher, "
. in case of fire in the galley". Also a horn is to be installed and a radar deflector, hopefully with these measures there will be less accidents at sea and more safer pleasurable sailing and power boating. For more information please refer to http://www.sailingusa.info/sailing_safety.htm
