When paddle craft or “manually propelled” craft are operating at night, or during periods of restricted visibility (such as fog, or heavy rain) they are required to display an all-round light, or lighted lantern.

A great way to remember which side of the boat is the port side, is to use this rule of thumb: The word 'port' has four letters. So does the word 'left'. This trick should help you remember that the port is the left side of the boat when you're looking forward.

You can (and should!) wear a life jacket or buoyant Personal Flotation Device (PFD) while operating a Personal Watercraft (PWC). Life jackets are designed to turn an unconscious person face up in the water and offer a higher level of protection, which is especially important when participating in high impact water sports!

When approaching a green Port-Hand Buoy, it must be kept on the left side of your boat when you're heading upstream.

Always remember that opposites attract when you're heading upstream! Your green sidelight will always match up with any red buoy that your boat approaches when you're heading upstream and your red sidelight will always pair up with any green buoy that your boat approaches when you're heading upstream.

A Swimming Buoy is always white in colour and does not have any additional marks, unlike the Diving Buoy for example, which always carries a red flag with a white diagonal stripe.

A Stand-On Craft has the right-of-way when approaching other power-driven boats. A simple way to decipher powerboat navigation lights is to remember this:
If you see a green light you can 'go', it means another power-driven boat is approaching from your port (left) side.
If you see a red light you should 'stop', it means another power-driven boat is approaching from your starboard (right) side.

When power-driven boats are approaching each other head-on, neither boat has the right-of-way. Both boaters must alter their direction in this situation. Don't forget that the type of craft you're operating and the type of craft you're approaching also determines which boater has the right-of-way. For example, an emergency craft always has right-of-way and all boats must steer clear.

Passengers on a small power-driven boat (or human-powered craft) should be sitting evenly so the weight is distributed evenly throughout the boat. Having too much weight on one side can negatively affect the performance of the boat and ultimately your safety!

In most states, it is illegal to operate any boat with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level of 0.08% or greater. Alcohol impairs your motor skills, judgment and reaction time. You should NEVER operate a boat while impaired by alcohol!
