Safety first: flotation, signaling and communication

Start with the gear that keeps people afloat and in contact. A life vest or buoyancy aid must suit the wearer's weight and the water conditions, and only protects when it is worn and fastened. For communication, a marine VHF radio talks to other vessels and coastal stations on marine channels, something a family walkie-talkie cannot do; see the marine VHF and walkie-talkie listings. Add a distress beacon and a waterproof weather radio for longer trips.

Waterproofing, power ratings and mounting for marine electronics

Marine electronics face spray, salt and vibration, so check the water-resistance rating: Water Resistant survives splashes, Waterproof claims more, and Indoor means keep it dry. Speakers and amplifiers state RMS power, impedance (often 4 ohms) and cutout size, and RMS is the figure to compare, not peak watts. Radios list their bands, such as AM, FM, weather band and shortwave, and their power source, whether battery, built-in rechargeable or boat supply. Dock and mooring hardware should be sized to the boat's weight and the line diameter.

Questions about Boating Gear, Marine Radios and Safety Equipment

How do I choose a life jacket size?
Sizes are set by body weight and chest measurement, not by age. Pick the size range that matches the wearer, fasten all buckles, and check that it does not ride up over the chin when lifted by the shoulders. Children need a model made for their weight.
Can I use an ordinary radio on a boat?
A household radio will not survive spray or damp air. For boating choose a waterproof or water-resistant set, check that it lists the bands you need, such as FM, AM and weather band, and keep it where it does not get soaked.
What is the difference between peak and RMS power on a marine amplifier?
RMS is the power the amplifier can deliver continuously; peak is a short-burst figure that is much higher. Compare RMS power at a stated impedance, such as 4 ohms, and match it to the speakers' own RMS rating.
