Vessel had 3 hand red flare and 3 hand orange smoke IAW lakes, bays, and sounds. Vessel route will be restricted to lakes, bays, and sounds until rectified.

Each rescue boat and ring life buoy must be marked with Type II retroreflective material [...]. The Arrangement of the of the retroreflective material applied after March 11, 1996, must be as specified by IMO Resolution A.658(16): "Retro-reflective materials of sufficient width (5cm) should be applied around or on both sides of the body of the lifebuoy at four evenly-spaced points."

47 CFR 80.159(e)(1); Each ship transporting more than six passengers for hire equipped with a radiotelephone station in accordance with Part III of Title III of the Communications Act must carry a radio operator who meets the following requirements: Where the station power does not exceed 250 watts carrier power or 1500 watts peak envelope power, the radio operator must hold a marine radio operator permit or higher class license. Operator permits were not available for inspection.

02108 - Conductors must be protected in accordance with their current carrying capacities. If the allowable current carrying capacity does not correspond to a standard device size, the next larger overcurrent device may be used provided it does not exceed 150 percent of the conductor current carrying capacity. Installed overcurrent protection is greater than approved drawing permits. - 46 CFR 183.380(d) - 17.C

02108 - Electrical equipment on a vessel must be installed and maintained to: (b) Protect passengers, crew, other persons, and the vessel from electrical hazards, including fire, caused by or originating in electrical equipment, and electrical shock; (c) Minimize accidental personnel contact with energized parts; and (d) Prevent electrical ignition of flammable vapors. / Each connection to a conductor or terminal part of a conductor must be made within an enclosure and have either: (1) A pressure type connector on each conductor; (2) A solder lug on each conductor; (3) A splice made with a pressure type connector to a flexible lead or conductor; or (4) A splice that is soldered, brazed, or welded to a flexible lead or conductor. Port collision void has anchor motor w/ exposed electrical conductors. - 46 CFR 183.200 / 46 CFR 183.340(g) - 16.C

02108 - Each connection to a conductor or terminal part of a conductor must be made within an enclosure and have either: (1) A pressure type connector on each conductor; (2) A solder lug on each conductor; (3) A splice made with a pressure type connector to a flexible lead or conductor; or (4) A splice that is soldered, brazed, or welded to a flexible lead or conductor. Wires spliced in port collision void using electrical tape. - 46 CFR 183.340(g) - 16.C
