Hey guys, just wondering what the reg's are for the U.S. side. I have the book with all the info on the canadian side. I heard that you must wear your lifejacket at all times. Something about a throw pillow? Thanks

You should be compliant with just the gear needed to fish in the place were your boat is registered. While in Canada my U.S. life jackets are not certified by Canada's Cost Guard ratings but I do not get a ticket. The throw cushion is one of the cushions that you sit on but can be thrown out the boat to someone in the water.
