Do you leave an emergency contact phone number on your boat in the event of an emergency?* I know many marina offices have owner contact info, but many things happen when the office is closed and I want to know right away if something is not right with my boat.
I don't want a problem on my boat to persist without my knowledge and I don't want my boat to cause a problem for others, such as fire, sinking, fuel leak or stray electrical current.
I have a sign that I place in the window of the lower helm stbd door when I leave the boat.*
My sign says the following:
===================
In the event of any problems
or concerns, please call
Al or Meg (916) XXX-XXXX
or (916) XXX-XXXX
Many thanks from FlyWright!
===================
Years ago, I got a call from a slip neighbor when he heard an alarm sounding at the lower helm.* Together, we figured out that I had left a GPS receiver on and it was alarming at the loss of signal in the metal-covered shed.* I told him where I hide the entry key and he went aboard and turned off the chartplotter.*
Problem solved and a new friend made.
