Boat Safety Equipment
Many boaters will go season after season and never have an emergency situation. However, USCG and the Federal government want to ensure all vessels are safe for every excursion and mandate the use of certain boat safety equipment while out on the water. Wholesale Marine is here to help make sure all your trips are safe and carefree. We stock everything you need to comply with all safety regulations from leading marine safety brands like ACR Electronics, Airhead, Onyx, Kidde, Sea Dog, and more.
Alarms & Detectors
Boat alarms and detectors help avoid a catastrophe. These alarms and detectors alert boaters and passengers of harmful fumes, gases, and can detect issues with bilge pumps and more. Replace any faulty alarms or detectors at Wholesale Marine.
Fire Extinguishers
USCG requires at least one B-I grade fire extinguisher to be on your vessel. We carry an extensive selection of fire extinguishers from top brands like Kiddie.
First Aid
Administering first aid for simple cuts and scrapes and even sunburns can be done with a well-stocked first aid kit. Our inventory of marine first aid kits has everything you need to help treat most injuries suffered onboard.
Distress Signals
Stocking your vessel with the proper distress signal equipment is simple at Wholesale Marine. Having improper lighting, incorrect or no sound signal devices such as marine horns and whistles is not only a safety hazard but required by navigational laws. These devices increase your visibility and alert other vessels of your whereabouts.
Life Jackets/PFD’s
Having a life jacket for each person on board is a USCG regulation. These life jackets must be USCG approved, in usable condition, and sized correctly for each user. Many states require that children under a certain age must wear their life vest anytime the boat is under power. Along with life jackets, any vessel over 16’ must carry a throwable floatation device such as a life ring or throwable cushion. Wholesale Marine carries everything you need to be USCG compliant.
With boat safety equipment, nothing should be taken for granted and all of these items should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper working order. Updating or replacing any of your boat safety equipment is easy at Wholesale Marine. Contact our customer support team with any safety concerns.
