Thread: Boat setup - onboard necessities

1. First aid kit (may have been mentioned but didn’t see it)
2. Coastguard membership.
3. If your vhf has inbuilt gps, configure the screen to show your position (lat/long). If your vhf doesn’t have inbuilt gps, configure your chartplotter/mfd to always show position (lat/long) in a side bar/data bar/ data overlay on chart (depends on brand). This is useful if the shit hits the fan and you’re calling for help - you can provide your location without having to learn where to find the lat/long when shit is going sideways.
