These Five Boat Additions Will Make Your Craft Safer

boat speeding on lakeSure, the basic boating supplies keep your day-to-day travels locked down, safety-wise. Life jackets, rafts and flares are standard issue with most boats. But, what about extra features? The world of boating benefits from a wealth of add-ons, amenities and safety products. If you’re gearing up for summer, don’t leave the dock without considering these five boat additions. They can make your trip safer. They might even lessen your boat insurance risk by enhancing your craft’s safety.

Item One: A New Bilge Pump

Replacing your craft’s bilge pump with an advanced version might benefit your insurance. Boat insurance coverage is relative to a craft’s market value. Enhanced safety features will definitely boost its value, insurance-wise.

Item Two: A Vessel Tracking System

A vessel monitoring and tracking system will deter onboard break-ins. It might also enhance your boating insurance coverage. Any craft outfitted with anti-theft devices have lower theft risks. Therefore, insurance companies might discount rates because of your attention to safety. Don’t forget to safeguard your craft with technology. Many of today’s vessel-monitoring systems are expandable. So, owners can add security sensors as needed.

Item Three: A 3D Scanner

If your boat’s pilots can scan underwater surfaces and structures in 3D, it might save you insurance expenses in the event of a boat crash. Pick up a 3D scanner, and check out stunning displays of areas beneath your craft. Also enjoy the added structural security perks.

Item Four: A Radio Beacon

You should keep a radio beacon alongside your vessel tracking system, too. These beacons are basic, pack LED strobe lights and have low location acquisition times. They’re often waterproof up to 10 meters, on average, and they’re mostly retrievable if they go overboard.

Item Five: An SOS Distress Light

A portable distress light may not boost your policy’s coverage. But it may still save your boat in the event of an emergency. Sometimes, time counts. SOS distress lights replace traditional flares. They’re also usually less dangerous than flares. Approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, most SOS distress lights are must-have boat additions.

Take care in selecting your onboard items. At the very least, you’ll outfit your watercraft with high-grade protection gear. Not all policies offer higher limits due to safety modifications. However, many still do. These add-ons will help greatly if an accident occurs. Again, time matters. If you’re in the ocean, you’d better get emergency assistance as soon as possible.

The Beckman Company can help you get the boat insurance you need. We can offer you a fast, free quote right now. Call us at (405) 842-2337 for more information.
