    It was not meant to "irk" or bend the feelings of anyone,  just clarifying that those coming from out of state do not need to take it. so that they do not panic over the NYS law.   Some people who looked at the law and the discussions have noted in conversations that the state is not requiring out of state residents to have a safety course to protect tourism and $ for the state (again, not a debate that this thread was meant to start).

    The rules are a little obscure  BUT an out of state boater operating in NY waterways WILL require a boater safety certificate issued by their home state. They don’t have to have the NY certificate but they still need one from home. No certificate = ticket and fine

    Where did you find this? Do you have the link, I can't seem to locate that. Thanks.

    I believe you need a course from your home state I took the following from the parks website 

    I'm visiting New York. Will my safety certificate from my home state be sufficient?Yes, provided it was issued from your current state of residence, and the course was approved by the National Association of Boating Law Administrators. Look for the NASBLA logo on your certificate.

    I got my card in 88 and recently added it to my NYS drivers license when I renewed. It shows up as a little anchor on the bottom. 
     

    do the news laws still allow people 10years old to take the course and drive a boat alone at 10yrs old?
     

    id like to get my 10 and 12 year old kids in a course. 

    Yes  they have to have a the CG certificate and an adult must be with them

    Only if you get caught!

    I’m sure that the COs will be having a field day at the boat launches  I am so in favor of this law. It seems strange that you need a license to operate a vehicle on the road. But anyone , in the past , could operate a vessel without any knowledge of the rules of the road and any safety rules. I have seen it firsthand over the ( many) years on the NY waterways.  Glad they finally made it mandatory to know what you’re doing

    Like most LEO's in NY, there hands have been tied. Chasing a squirrel gave them something to do.

    That’s a lame excuse. This is not nazi Germany and law enforcement is not gestapo.  I feel that these swat tactics are the reason for so many cops being assaulted. That poor farmer was just trying to do the human thing and take care of an orphaned squirrel. We need a total overhaul of police procedures 

    they have installed a 72 hour waiting period for all such cases. Too late for peanut

    Sounds like it’s not vented. I worked for Honda many years ago. I had a 7.5 that acted the same. When I forgot to vent the tank. Will it start ( or keep running ) when you squeeze the primer bulb ?  Also make sure you have a shutoff valve between your kicker and main motor or you will just suck air   If it runs for 5 minutes it’s not the pump diaphragm but it’s easy to replace if you want to try it
