    This came up in a conversation earlier this morning between another IDA’er and myself. We were discussing people being certified to drive a boat, and the coast guard certification.I remembered taking a boaters safety course when I was a kid. It taught me the basics of boating, Etiquette, “rules of the Road”, navigation etc. The course is free and you can take it at home. This is a worthwhile investment of your time even if you don’t take the test, and good reading material for days like today.

    Here is a link to the DNR where the booklet can be requested.

    Not to mention, if you pass this course, it should lower your insurance rate.

    If you are under the age of 18(I think) then you have to have it to be able to operate anything over a 20hp motor, or someone over 21 must be within reach of the controls.
