Boat Sound Signaling Devices: The Ultimate Guide
When it comes to boating safety and effective communication out on the water, sound-signaling devices are boating safety essential. These devices are designed to convey specific navigational information, warn of dangers, and call for help.
Whether navigating a small ski-boat at the lake or cruising the coast in a larger vessel, understanding the different types of sound signaling options available, their importance, and the regulations surrounding their use is essential.
What Is A Sound Signaling Device?
In the context of the boating world, a sound-signaling device is simply a tool used to communicate specific information on the water. These devices communicate navigational information, call for help, or warn of danger.
These devices emit sound signals that can be heard by other boats, signaling various messages or warnings. Legally, all vessels are required to have at least one sound signaling device on board. Boats less than 39.4 Feet (12 meters) long require at least one sound signal device.
Those longer than 12 meters require a bell in addition to the air horn or whistle.
Sound Signaling Device Options:
When selecting a sound-signaling device for your boat, several popular options are available. The top three most common choices are both easy to use and inexpensive:
Air Horns: Air horns are popular for their loud and attentiongrabbing sound. Their compact size makes them easy to store onboard even smaller boats.
Whistles: Small, inexpensive, but effective signaling devices that easily fit in your boating tool kit. Whistles are commonly used as a sound signal on smaller boats and personal watercraft like jet skis. Whistles with a pea inside are not approved because they will not work when waterlogged.
Bells: Bells provide a distinct and recognizable sound. They are typically used on larger vessels but can be used on any boat to supplement other sound-signaling devices.
What Is A Sound Signaling Appliance?
Similar to a sound signaling device, the sound signaling appliance is used to communicate when on the open water. The difference is the
sound signaling appliance is affixed to the boat. A common soundsignaling appliance is a horn.
Why Are Sound Signaling Devices Important?
Sound signaling devices play a critical role in both boating safety and communication They serve various purposes, including:
1. Avoiding Collisions: Sound signals can be used to communicate with other vessels, especially when other methods of communication are limited.
2. Emergency Situations: Sound signaling devices are essential in any boating emergency to signal distress or capture the attention of other boaters. A sound signal can call for help or alert other nearby boats of dangers.
3. Navigation: Different sound signals convey navigational information, such as passing intentions, approaching or leaving a dock, or entering restricted areas. Navigational sound signals are typically used only when boats are in sight of each other and crossing within half a mile of each other.
How To Use Sound Signaling Devices
Using sound signaling devices correctly is of the utmost importance for responsible captains to communicate correctly with other boats on the water.
Understand the specific sound signals required in your area and their meanings. Different signals are made from specific patterns and durations, such as short blasts, prolonged blasts, or combinations. Know the meaning of each pattern to avoid confusing others in a highstakes situation.
Always follow the proper signaling etiquette for efficient communication with other boaters. Different areas, marinas, and types of water bodies may have different signaling etiquette.
Practice using your sound signaling device so you are familiar with how it works if it’s ever needed in an emergency.
Sound Signal Blasts: Sound signals are called blasts, with different blast combinations carrying different meanings from ‘I’m backing up’ to ‘danger’. Short blasts last about a second, while prolonged blasts typically last four to six seconds.
Common Sound Signal Meanings: Understanding the most common boat sound signal patterns is imperative for effective communication while on the water.
One Short Blast: A single short blast is typically used to communicate the intention to pass another boat on its starboard (right) side.
Two Short Blasts: Two short blasts signify the intention to pass another boat on its port (left) side. This signal indicates that you plan to pass the other vessel while keeping it to your right side.
Three Short Blasts: Three short blasts indicate a vessel is backing up. This signal is often used when leaving a dock or maneuvering a boat in reverse.
One Prolonged Blast: A single prolonged blast, usually lasting four to six seconds, is a warning signal to indicate the vessel’s presence and potential danger. It is often used when navigating blind corners, in areas of reduced visibility, or when approaching an intersection.
Five Short Blasts: Five short quick blasts is an emergency signal. This signal is used to draw attention, communicate you are in distress, and requests help.
These sound signal patterns are not comprehensive and may vary slightly depending on regional or local regulations. Always familiarize yourself with the specific rules and requirements of the area where you are boating, especially when in new locations.
Sound Signaling Device Requirements
Understanding sound signaling requirements is necessary to comply with safety regulations and ensure safe boating. Local regulations vary, but common regulations require audibility, quantity, and maintenance. The device must reliably produce a sound that can be heard from a reasonable distance. It is usually required that each boat has at least one sound-signaling device on board. Additional devices can provide redundancy, peace of mind, and be extra useful in an emergency.
Regular maintenance and testing of your sound signaling devices are critical to ensuring they will work when most needed.
Sound Signaling Devices: A Boating Safety Essential
Sound signaling devices are indispensable safety tools for boaters. They ensure safe navigation, effective communication, and emergency preparedness on the water. By understanding how to use sound signaling devices, you can ensure a safer boating experience for you and your passengers – allowing you to have carefree fun out on the water.

Rescue Me SOS is a portable visual distress SOS signal that can be seen from 12.8km away (8 miles) in ideal conditions and could save lives. Store it in your car’s glove box, your boat, snowmobile, ATV, motorcycle, aircraft, or any other motorized vehicle and bring it out in times of emergency.
The powerful LED light, and practically indestructible, all-weather case will work to draw attention to your location when you are in distress.
If your vessel does not have a lighter outlet, Rescue Me SOS can easily be used with a 4.8 meter (16 foot) 12V extension cable to be connected directly to your battery. This cable can be ordered alongside your Rescue Me SOS Signal.

Who’s Who
Sea Pro Boats Creates Two Industry Firsts with Partnership with Boat Fix
Southport, Conn. – Boat Fix, a recreational boating telematics company that provides a combination of remote monitoring, GPS tracking, sophisticated geofencing and 24/7 live customer support, announced today the expansion of their partnership with Sea Pro to an industry first five-year program under the Sea Pro Connect name with free towing support.
Sea Pro Connect now offers the Boat Fix remote monitoring and tracking device, together with five years of 24/7 alarm monitoring and support and an around-theclock mechanical helpline. Previously gifted as a one year model to all Sea Pro owners with model year 2020 and beyond vessels, the app and service has been a game changer for Sea Pro customers who have support on the water when their dealerships are closed. In addition to the new five-year program, Sea Pro Connect will now include five years of towing support which complements the 24/7 mechanical help line.
“This raises the boating industry bar in customer experience to a dazzling new height,” said Alastair Crawford, Founder of Boat Fix. “A five-year 24/7 service program backed by towing is a quantum leap forward. Sea Pro did not hesitate at the opportunity, and once again has shown themselves to be the clear leaders in providing the ultimate customer experience.”
“We have always seen Boat Fix as a gamechanger and one of the most important sale differentiators in a highly competitive market,” said Jimmy Hancock, President of Sea Pro Boats. “We are excited to up the level of that game.”
Sea Pro Connect provides the new Sea Pro owner with an app that remotely tracks and monitors their boats. The app has GPS playback, anti-theft features, as well as alarms for the essential functions of the boat. Powered by the Boat Fix 24/7 Command and Control Center in Southport CT, Sea Pro owners can call in 24/7/365 for assistance, including mechanical issues, and the Boat Fix Team provides around the clock monitoring and outbound support for alarms.
About Boat Fix:
Boat Fix is a leading telematics service for boat owners that ensures a stress-free boating experience, including pro-active technical assistance, straightforward vessel management, and security. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Connecticut, Boat Fix has the industry’s only 24/7 service centers in the U.S. and Europe.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination.

It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker.

BOAT AMERICA CLASSES – CLEARWATER, FLORIDA COAST GUARD AUXILIARY -
2023 - The Coast Guard urges recreational boaters, paddlers, anglers, and others to remain safe on the water by taking a Safe Boating Course. A safe boating class can teach about local boating, the value of wearing a life jacket, and several other lifesaving lessons. A boating safety course will teach the basic skills to operate a vessel safely. It includes the diverse types of boats, their capabilities, and how to choose the right boat for a particular maritime activity. Class members will also learn about various safety equipment and how to use them to avoid accidents. Before heading out onto the open water, it’s crucial to know how to read the weather since Florida is known for its sudden changes from lovely calm seas and winds to thunderstorms, torrential rains, and waterspouts. In the boating safety class, students learn methods for staying safe in any condition, including heavy winds, fog, and severe storms. Boating can be an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends. But it’s essential to be aware of the potential dangers. A class will help the boater avoid being a statistic. It teaches how to handle a boat safely and what to do in an emergency. Finally, taking a boating safety course is a wonderful way to learn the rules and regulations, especially those unique to Florida. Novice and experienced boaters or even non-boaters can benefit from a safe boating course – as an initial learning experience or as a refresher. Regardless of experience level, taking a class is always a good idea. To continue offering these classes safely for the students and instructors, they are being offered on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. Because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! Classes are $50 per student and include books, supplemental materials, and course completion certificates. The next classes begin in January and continue monthly. The whole class schedule and registration are at: www.clwboatingsafety. com/boater-class-registration. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www. clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr. auxboating@gmail.com or call 727-4698895.

Jigging for Grouper and Mangrove Snapperin Tampa Bay
Deep jigging or vertical jigging is a fishing method that has been practiced around the world but is just now getting acceptance from the saltwater anglers on the east coast. California, Mexico, and Cuba have been yoyo jigging for years and have been very productive.
The introduction of the Butterfly Jigging system several years ago opened the door for other manufactures producing new versions of jigging products.Many of the local companies have also added new jig head designs and soft baits to match the hatch.
Basic:
Find a location with moderate current and look for rocky areas, ledges, or other structures. A good bottom sounder is important to read not only the bottom, but the fish. Position the boat directly over the structure or fish and drop a jig. The weight of the jig is determined by the current and depth of water, so I recommend having a good selection of jigs before startingyou jigging trip.
Technique Grouper:
This simple technique allows you to drop the jig to the bottom, always staying in touch. By this I mean you must always feel the jig, as this will help in hook setting and keeping the jig from twisting around your leader or line.
There are several methods of deep jigging. One is positioning the boat directly over the fish or drifting over the bottom across the rocks or wreck. Always drift parallel to the rocks or wreck. Once the fish are located, it’s time to
decide which jig will work best, metal jigs or jig head with soft plastic bait. Please note that your jig should be heavy enough to always reach the bottom.
When you drift beyond the ledge, rocks, or wreck area, crank up and start another up current drift. Drop down to the bottom, crank one to two turns on the reel,this should get you several feet of the bottomstart jigging by lifting the rod tip up in a quick motion and dropping down again this creates the effect of a wounded bait. Once a fish is hooked, drop a marker over the side or hit your GPS button as this will give you a reference point for your next drift or to do a stationary drop.
When drifting for your best position in the boat, a good point to remember is that when “the wind is in your face you are in the right place.”
Anchoring is another choice if there is a strong current or strong wind, here you have a choice use an anchor or if you have one of the newer trolling motor’s us spot lock. Position the boat over the structure and start jigging, allowing the jig to hit bottom every time.Groupers will follow and attach a jig up to five or six feet from the bottom its best to keep the jig at least several feet from the bottom to avoid losing them to the rocks.
Technique Mangrove Snapper
Mangrove snapper jigging is slightly different in that you are fishing right on the bottomrather thanabove the bottom. A good bottom machine will mark mangrove snapper as they are grouped together. Drop the jig and follow it down on your bottom machine until it reaches the area where the snapper is showing up and start your jigging at that point.
It’s a trial and error for

Captain Dylan Hubbard here, thrilled to bring you our weekly fishing report packed with exciting updates, tips, and insights for your next fishing adventure. Let’s dive right in and explore the latest happenings in our fishing world.
Light Loads & Spectacular Weather: We’re setting sail into a fantastic week with light loads and spectacular weather. As we enjoy the sun, the fish are ready to play. Don’t miss your chance to reel in some epic catches.
Fishing & Weather Outlook: For now, the upcoming weekend and workweek promise fantastic conditions. The weather is calm, waves are minimal, and the fishing is heating up.
Fish & Weather Connections: Did you know fish are weathersavvy? That black line down a snook’s side, that lateral line, isn’t just for show. It’s how fish sense barometric pressure changes and water movement. As low pressure systems approach, fish sense excitement, leading

the novice, but with a little hard work you can manage the technique.Jig heads with soft baits work best and a little Pro-Cure Saltwater Super Gel scent on the soft baits works wonders to help increase the bite.
Tackle Grouper:
With metal jigs in fast currents or deep water, I prefer OKUMA Azores 5000 spinningreelmedium heavy action rod with 40-pound testFINSWindtamer braided linetied to 40-pound test clear mono leader at least 40-inches long. I find that a good grade of clear monofilament line works well and has a thinner diameter than fluorocarbon and a lot cheaper in cost.A tight drag is recommended since you are fishing over structures, and these fish will head for the nearest hole or structure when they strike.Under normal conditions I would use a conventional reel for grouper fishing, but I find spinning tackle to be less straining and easier to maintain the proper motion for longer periods of time.
Tackle Mangrove Snapper:
In shallow waters of 15 to 25 feet I prefer jig heads and soft baits on spinning tackle, medium action rod spooled with 15-pound testFINS Windtamer braided line and a 36inch fluorocarbon leader of 30-pound test if the water is clear I might even go down to 20-pound test leader and make it longer.I only use fluorocarbon leader 30-pound and 20-pound when fishing the shallows or flats for redfish, snook, trout, flounder, or mangrove snapper.

Rising with the Sun: A Day of Fishing and Discovery
Last Friday, I went on a fishing adventure with my friend Tom. Our day began at the dock, where we met at 6:30 a.m. Although we were planning on fishing with artificial baits, I always take shrimp as a backup. Unfortunately, all the bait shops were out of shrimp.
We loaded our boat and set out from the dock around 6:45 a.m. Once we departed, I called the Fort Pierce City Marina over the radio, hoping they might have shrimp in stock. Fortunately, they did, so we promptly acquired three dozen to ensure a successful day on the water.
The boat we had for the day was an inshore boat. I to head north along the river to the old inlet. The entire morning was dedicated to exploring the islands to the north, where we hoped to encounter some promising fishing spots. Since snook season just opened, I hoped to get a snook to come home.
Treasure Coast
Our first location yielded a few bites, and although I briefly had a fish on, with the dim lighting, we could not identify the species. Additionally, our initial spot was graced by the presence of three curious manatees, adding to the charm of our outing.
We pressed on, continuing to explore the northern islands. As the sun ascended higher into the sky, our surroundings came alive with the vibrant activity of baitfish, birds, and boils. It was promising that we would have a good bite, but to our surprise, it was unusually slow. A fellow Salt Strong Insider called me as he saw me and asked how I was doing. He told me it was a surprisingly slow bite for him,
Nevertheless, our determination paid off, and we managed to reel in three catfish, a few mutton snappers, a baby lane snapper, and two snook. We even managed to lose a few snook.

Brutally Hot, Fishing is on Fire!
Today I am fishing the BBI -Hooked on Kids- Sheridan House Key Largo Classic. Wednesday nights Captains meeting was incredible great buffet, great band and a giant silent auction. Im fishing with Brett, Matt and Corbin Alshire we met up early for the 38-mile run we had. Once we got there the bite was on. Snook, Trout, Jacks and Ladyfish got us started until the tide started moving in. The tide was getting higher and the Tarpon started rolling but only slapped at our lures.

Once the tide got up there were Taron everywhere in a big Mullet mud. We casted at rolling Tarpon only to catch Redfish. We had them 2 and 3 at a time. The Tarpon kept rolling Matt and Corbin both hooked up at the same time, while Brett had a Redfish. This was crazy 5 minutes. Matt landed his Tarpon and we Broke Corbin s off while being chase by a Shark. (Video Above)
We did this for a couple hours and were exhausted from catching fish in 95 degree temperature. We wanted to get the most species trophy, so we went looking for a mangrove Snapper. Dont you know
we found the mother lode of snappers. Cornbin caught a 13-inch Snapper which won big Snapper along with most Species. Great day they caught 2 Tarpon allot of Snook and Redfish to 26 inches and a bunch of Trout, Jacks and Ladyfish. What a great day we walked away we 3 awards for Snapper, Species and Big Redfish not to mention 2 Grands Slams. All of this and then a killer lunch at the awards. This is a tough job some days!
Still Slammin every trip!
The species are here in good numbers, when that happens, we try to catch all of them. The backcountry fish that make up the Slam are 3 of the 4, Tarpon, Snook, Redfish and Trout. If you are lucky enough to catch all 4 it is a Grand Slam. In the last couple months, we have slammed on almost every trip.
The fishing is so good I hate to miss a day but it’s a very hot summer, I know a lot of guys that just won’t do it.
The Tarpon are thick and hitting assorted lures, I use the Berkley Swimming Mullet and a weedless Fluke. There are plenty of good lures, but floating grass has been a problem so no
Around noon, we reluctantly returned to the dock, ending our fishing escapade. Despite the slower-than-expected bite, it was an unforgettable day filled with fishing and fellowship.
The bite might not have been the best today for us, but we made several memories that will last a lifetime. Tania and I pray all who made it out over the weekend had blessed and safe trips. May those heading out this week have tight lines and good times.

treble hooks.
The numbers are good lots of Snook and Redfish and throw in a handful of Trout. The Sharks are out of control. We have to muscle the fish in, otherwise they will get bit by a Shark.
The fishing is really good and the rids stay bent.
