Manual Propelling Device
Manual propelling devices can be used to manoeuver your boat in the case of a breakdown. Most boats are required to carry paddles or oars with oar locks. If operating a boat less than 8 m in length you may use an anchor with a minimum of 15 m of rope, cable or chain in place of a manual propelling device.
