Section 113.12 - Reliance on location of aids and markers(a) The location of buoys and other aids vary in their reliability because: (1) Buoy locations are always approximated.(2) Buoy moorings vary in length allowing a degree of movement depending upon the wind, currents and water levels.(3) Buoys may be dragged off-station, sunk, destroyed or vandalized.(b) Boaters should not rely on buoys alone for determining their position or the degree of hazard present in a body of water. Prudent boaters shall use bearings, soundings, good lookout and various methods of electronic navigation to assure a safe voyage.The provisions of this § 113.12 adopted April 19, 1996, effective 4/20/1996, 26 Pa.B. 1822.
