The MN Boating Guide states that ” Some inflatable life vests are required to be worn in order to be counted as one of
your U.S. Coast Guard-approved wearable flotation devices”?
Does anyone know which types are required to be worn and which types can be taken off while fishing. I’ve been under the belief that those inflatables that allow visual inspection of the arming device (through a plastic window on the vest) where the type that could be taken off but still counted as a PFD on-board? Recently a CO almost wrote me a ticket about this and didn’t, when he read the Boating Guide and saw the disparity?
