58 Pa. Code § 113.12

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 50, December 14, 2024
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.
