Implementation.... That's easy. All boats entering or leaving federal waters will be equipped with at least one form of PLB. If you get caught without it you get a warning or fine. Same as flares, life jackets or other required safety devices. Same folks that enforce the latter should enforce the PLB requirement. Rant away..

So who keeps track of the warnings? Who collects the fines? What do you do if they don't pay the fine? Who will carry out that action? What testing does the pld have to meet?

You all think I am being ridiculous, but I work for the government. I get to see this first hand every week. You do not want this.
