Mink Islander offers sound advice, clearly annotate your contact information and use proper reflectors.

Unfortunately the Administrative Rule that governed swim rafts is currently expired and the title to the rule is being held in reserve until a new and acceptable rule can be put in place.

Some may remember the controversy that surrounded this issue when changes and registration issues arose about this particular regulation. The result is now we have no regulation.

That said, whenever you knowingly place an object, especially a fixed object like a swim raft, in the water you obviously assume some level of civil liability.

Follow Mink's advice and utilize a bit of common sense on when & where you place it, then enjoy!
