Boat Basics | Safety Below Decks | Ep. 144

In this fourth installment in our series on boating safety, we delve into the important safety items you should have below decks in your boat. This includes bilge pumps, flare kits, first aid, fire blankets, and seacocks. Boaters tend to focus a lot on what is happening up on the deck and cockpit, but how you setup your boat below decks for safety is just as important. Be sure to also check out the other videos in our boating safety playlist, including topics such as safe boat design, lifejackets, bilge pumps, seacocks, and life rafts. Also, be sure to check out our other boating how to videos on our channel. We cover a wide range of topics, such as varnishing, solar power, and navigation electronics. We also post regularly on our sailing adventures onboard our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 ‘Sea Rose’. Lastly, check out our blog site - http://www.lifefourpointzero.com. We periodically post written stories and pictures of our sailing adventures on our blog.
