Scary Bass Boat Accident

Boat Video
 
First, watch this.

Whether you own a boat or use a resort boat a couple times a year, you can benefit from the U.S. Coast Guard's Rental Boat Safety online video program that knocks home the main points about boating safety.

Remember, navigating on a waterway carries rules-of-the-road, just like the ones you followed trailering to the ramp. We don't need any boat rage (or worse) out there caused by running on-plane between a flotilla of trollers. Think it's okay to pop open a cold one? Hey, you're on a fishing vacation, right? Think again. 39 percent of all boating accidents involve the use of alcohol.

Proper anchoring, negligent operation, life jackets, kids on board, speed and control, basic navigation, loading and storage, fire and explosion, and protecting the environment are among the subjects covered in right-to-the-point one- to three-minute video segments. There's even a test you can take to be sure you're seaworthy.
Watch   This and up your chances for a safe fishing!
