Sound-Producing Devices 312 IAC 5-13-4 ◆◆ In periods of reduced visibility or whenever a boat operator needs to signal his or her intentions or position, a sound-producing device is essential. The device may be a whistle, horn, or bell that is audible for one-half mile. ◆◆ The following requirements apply to boats operating on Waters of Concurrent Jurisdiction. • Vessels less than 65.6 feet in length, which includes PWCs, are required to carry on board a whistle or horn or some other means to make an efficient sound signal audible for at least one-half mile. • Vessels that are 65.6 feet or more in length are required to carry on board a whistle or horn, and a bell that are audible for at least one mile. Some common sound signals that you should be familiar with as a recreational boater are as follows. Restricted Visibility • One prolonged blast at intervals of not more than two minutes is the signal used by power-driven vessels when underway. • One prolonged blast plus two short blasts at intervals of not more than two minutes is the signal used by sailboats under sail. Warning • One prolonged blast is a warning signal (for example, used when coming around a blind bend or exiting a slip). • Five (or more) short, rapid blasts signal danger or signal that you do not understand or that you disagree with the other boater’s intentions.
