Alert - Several VSCs have been done on the 2006 Carolina Skiff 18' center console. All have been found to not have working bow lights. These new boats should have working bow lights as many of them have not been on the water. It was discovered on the weekend of April 8th at Boats-R-Us dealership, that the three recently delivered from the factory are all missing wiring from the center console where the electric panel is located. This is a factory issue. Owners should return their boat to the dealership to have a technician install the electrical wire to the bow light. The factory is giving out $100 rebates if the boat is brought in. The dealer estimates 15 boats are out there without the bow light working.

New Wrinkle in Security Zone - Jacksonville, Fl - Navy security personnel took 4 individuals into custody on March 6th for failure to leave a security zone when commanded. The 4 POB were fishing at the time under trolling motor when a security vessel pulled alongside. They refused leave leading to their arrest. As of April 1, 2006 they remain in jail as FBI and Homeland security agents interrogate them under the current state of war that exists between us and Iraq. Please stress to people when conducting a VSC that they are not to be within 100 feet of government assets whether the asset is in the water or not. This can include bridges and other structures. It definitely includes any military vessel. Explain to them how to recognize a government asset and what they should do.

Waterway Watch - All VSC's should include a pamphlet from the Waterway Watch program. The VSC workshop is mandatory this year and you should receive the training if you have not yet. Ask the MA officer for Waterway Watch materials to hand out when doing a VSC.

West Marine Offers Safety Equipment Discount - West Marine will again offer a 10% discount on safety equipment to boaters who receive a Vessel Safety Check. The discount coupons are available for downloading on the V Department website. West Marine has long been an active supporter of the VSC program and the educational value it brings to the recreational boating community.

Two Additional Updated National Forms - The Vessel Examinations, ANSC-7038 now allows multiple inspectors for M missions. The change does not affect VSCs or Facility Inspections; copies of the previous edition may be used until supplies are exhausted for those missions. The Unit Officer Report, ANSC-7007 is revised to reflect current authorized offices for flotillas and divisions. The previous edition is obsolete
