Boating Safety Card Photo?

jazzman · 06-08-2016, 02:31 PM

Does anyone know if having a photo of your licence and boating safety card on your phone will suffice if you're stopped by Marine Patrol?

Since I live on the lake, I frequently don't bother to bring my wallet if I'm going out for a short cruise? It's just one more thing to misplace or drop in the water. I do always bring my phone in case I get stranded

I used to just leave my boating card on the boat, but now I have a jet ski too, so that no longer works.
