When journeying out to sea, the necessary boating safety equipment is:
Life preservers (enough for every person onboard)
A first-aid kit
Boat mats (which you can get at www.seeboards.com)
Flares
A flashlight
Extra batteries
A fire extinguisher
Extra food and water
Copies of your boat insurance documents

In addition to required safety equipment, you must legally carry a paddle or an oar aboard your boat while operating in New Mexico.
"Safety needs" are processes, procedures, policies, or equipment that are needed to establish or maintain a safe work environment.
Operator/owner
Other than floor mats for safety, no other special equipment is needed.

The required equipment for a boat is primarily determined by its length, type, and intended use. Regulations set by maritime authorities often dictate specific safety gear and equipment based on these factors. Additionally, the geographical area of operation and whether the boat is used for recreational or commercial purposes can also influence the necessary equipment. Compliance with local laws ensures safety and preparedness for various conditions.
Length of a boat determines the equipment a boat must carry.
To determine the required equipment for your boat under federal and state law, you need to measure the boat's length. This measurement is typically taken from the tip of the bow (front) to the stern (back) of the boat, excluding any attachments like motors or platforms. The length of the boat influences the safety gear and equipment requirements, such as life jackets, fire extinguishers, and signaling devices.
The responsibility for performing the pre-departure check of a recreational boat typically falls on the boat owner or operator. They must ensure that all safety equipment is onboard, the vessel is in good working condition, and all necessary supplies are available. This includes checking the engine, fuel levels, navigation equipment, and life jackets. Ultimately, the operator is accountable for the safety of everyone on board.
the length of the boat
The boat may be sitting low in the water due to the combined weight of the two fishermen and any additional gear or equipment they have on board. The displacement of the water by the boat is determined by the weight of the boat and its contents, causing it to sit lower in the water when heavily loaded. It is important for the fishermen to ensure they are not exceeding the maximum weight capacity of the boat to maintain stability and safety on the water.
