Free boating vessel safety checks will be offered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Clark County Operations Center, 4700 N.E. 78th St.
Members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary who perform the inspections are trained to know the latest in legal requirements for boats. They have no legal authority and their goal is to prevent boaters from getting equipment-related citations and to reduce accidents.
The examiners will check to see if all required items are onboard and if everything is in good working order. Boats that are properly equipped will be awarded a decal.
