You are right. Many boat accidents are due to boaters not seeing what is around them. You would think that good vision would be a prerequisite for a safe boater. It has been mentioned on the forum a few times over the years. We have our vision checked when we get a driver's license but not for a safe boating certificate.
Not only do we want boaters to pay more attention to their surroundings they should have the ability to see their surroundings. You can be legally blind and still receive a boater education safe boating certificate which allows you to legally drive a boat.
What good is knowledge of the 150 foot rule if you can not see things 150 feet away?
