How to minimize electrical risk at a marina
Article Abstract:
Marine consultant Charlie Game noted that most electrical accidents at marinas can be avoided if more marina operators and boatyards pay attention to the electrical wiring and equipment maintenance codes of the National Fire Protection Assn. The code calls for annual inspections of all electrical wiring, ground connections, conduits, hangers, supports, connections, outlets, appliances, portable cables and devices installed or used in marinas, boatyards or boat basins. Marina operators should also be alert for damaged or non-functioning switches, lighting fixtures and receptacle outlets.

Federal lakes legislation awaits new Congress
Article Abstract:
Marina industry representatives are optimistic about the passage of two pieces of legislation in 2001 that would benefit marina operators in particular and the marine business in general. One bill involves a new facility modernization program by the Army Corp of Engineers, while the other is the proposed National Recreation Lakes Act of 2000. The latter would require federal agencies to make recreational use a priority at nearly 1,800 federal man-made lakes.
