All Wetbike & Jet skiers
Jetski/Wetbike COF
In future you will be required to do an annual boat inspection COF (Certificate of Fitness)
I have obtained the following information for the required equipment from Commercial Marine (024 294 1957)
The info below is as per my invoice when I purchased my equipment on 14 November 2009 (prices might change).
The safety equipment required for a JETSKI survey is as follows:
- Buoyancy aid of appropriate size with whistle for each person on board (Lifejacket) - R320
- Pencil flare set with 6 flares (valid for 3 years) – R445
- Hand held smoke marker (valid for 3 years) – R175
- ID sheet (Orange) - R25
- Capsize tow / Tow rope which can be 10 meters of 7mm ski rope - R15
- Drogue Anchor with 15ft of rope – R195
- Emergency blanket x 2 – R25.60
- Dry bag (which all equipment is stored in) – R129
- First Aid kit – R87.21
The total cost for all items above is R1 404.01 inclusive of vat.
The COF
If you are a member of the Port St Francis Ski Boat & Yacht Club Chris Hattingh (083 310 8120) can do the survey. He will charge R250 and will issue you with a PSF number.
If you are not a member of the club he can still do the inspection but will charge you R400 and will issue you with a SRE number.
This number must be displayed on your craft. The printing of this number can be done by Brett Firth (082 575 4868)
For the printing of the numbers Brett charges R85 for the boat and R65 for the trailer
The entire process above is a schlep and can be managed by Warren at “Kouga Marine” or Johan at “The Boatyard” for a small fee.
