RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Remove all electrical components (speakers, etc) from lazarette currently used as a portable fuel tank locker, so as to prevent any ignition source for the gasoline fuel stowed in this location.

3. Visual distress flares were not seen aboard. Provide current visual distress signal flares as required by federal regulations.
4. The mast mounted steaming light did not function. Prove all navigation lights functional.
