Mark's Goodie #2: FREE Coast Guard Kit

Mark's Marine supplies a free Coast Guard Kit with every new Boat. These kits include Life Vests, Buoys, Dock Line, Fire Extinguisher, and a Throw Cushion. The only item not included in the kit required to make your boat Coast Guard Legal is a noise making device. Nearly all boats sold here at Mark's Marine come with a built in horn, which exceeds the coast guard requirements for a noise making device. We do however sell whistles and horns here at the store should your boat not have one.

The only diffrence between the two kit sizes is the size of the fenders in the kit. Mark's Marine selects the apropriate kit depending on the size and weight of the boat. In general boats 22' or larger receive the Large Kit, and boats smaller than 22' receive the small kit. Other than the fenders, the rest of the items are the same.

In addition to what's included in the Kit, Mark's Marine offers a wide range of safety devices for sale, from Horns, to Ring Buoys, to Flares, to Inflatable Life Vests, Mark's Marine's well stocked Accesories department has the gear you might want to outfit your boat with.
