    Safety Certifications & Registrations - Required by law or just good to have?

    Bought my 63' few months ago and I'm getting mixed messages from the "experts" on the dock. Is everything listed below essential and in need recertification, registration or licensing?

    6 person life raft - cert expired in 2016
    EPIRB - Battery expiration date was 2017 - but can't find a source for new battery. Not registered under my name
    Fire extinguishers - Mostly Kidde Mariners not part of recall. Last inspection was 2016
    Fireboy HFC227, 70 lb Auto/Manual in ER. Tag says cert expires 12 months from punched date (July 2016)
    SSB Radio - Sea 223 - Not registered
    VHF MMSI - Not registered under my name.

    So what's the real deal for a recreational vessels under 65'? I don't go offshore. Coastal cruising only. Thinking I can get rid of the EPIRB, SSB and life raft as I should always be in VHF range.

    Thoughts and advice appreciated.
