My New Year's resolutions are always easy to keep.
Check the fire extinguishers. Besides inverting and shaking, I give them a couple of good whacks with a rubber mallet. Leftover Stamps.com stuff makes good stick-on tags.

Check and de-mildew life jackets and ring buoy.

Check life raft mountings. Change batteries in SOS signal lights and test EPIB. Verify first aid kits in place and complete (I use a lot of bandaids. Remember: Hats aren't for hemophiliacs.). Inventory liquor cabinet (medicinal use only in case of snakebite). Grease Margarita machine.
Last, time for some comedy. Order a CG Aux. Voluntary Vessel Inspection.

Re: New Year: Time to Check Safety Equipment
I'm adding survival whistles to all our life jackets this year. Printing them all on my 3d printer, ear splitting loud and I think you could drive a tank over them. lol.

Re: New Year: Time to Check Safety Equipment
I'd be happy to print some up for the forum when I have some printer down time, we have several days worth of mold printing queued up at the moment! Was thinking about including the whistles as a promotional item to customers that make purchases on my website http://BigLiveBait.com but after talking to a few marketing people they seem to think it's a waste and not a great idea like i thought it would be. I have piles of hats, t-shits, koozies...etc from other company's promo giveaways that I never use, thought the whistle would at least be something of value to boat owners and fishermen.

Re: New Year: Time to Check Safety Equipment
This reminds me of the Big Bang Theory TV show when they made models of them selves.GREAT episode. However if you were making whistles I’d be more than happy to add one to my safety equipment.

Re: New Year: Time to Check Safety Equipment
Robert that was a good list. I am headed to the boat Wednesday and will add to your list to mine. I had not thought of some of things on your list.
Rusty, is that 3D printer you have for a business or for personal use. I was aware of them but thought that only a large business could justify the expense. Can yours make larger items? I think we have all gotten desensitized to the marvels of technology but the 3D printer to me is amazing
