BoatLedger

Keep your vessel records, equipment dates, registrations and boater-education details together for your own reference.

Every record stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no analytics. Apple StoreKit handles products, purchases and access. Calendar copies can sync through your Calendar account; legal-page requests and user-directed sharing use their selected destinations.

What BoatLedger tracks:
- State vessel registration renewal deadlines, with state-specific reference information (Florida annual or eligible two-year registration, Michigan triennial, California odd-year renewal)
- USCG fire extinguisher expiry, 12 years from manufacture per 33 CFR Section 175.320
- Visual distress signal (flare) expiry, 42 months from manufacture
- PFD count per person, by your boat's class
- Navigation lights, sound device, ECOS, and backfire flame arrestor status
- Boater education card expiry across 45-plus mandatory states

How it works:
- Add a vessel: name, state, registration expiry, type, length
- Add safety equipment: flares, fire extinguishers, PFDs, nav lights
- BoatLedger shows reference expiry estimates for date-based equipment from the manufacture date you enter; verify manufacturer labels and current official requirements
- Add each deadline to your iPhone Calendar with reminders at 90, 60, 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before
- Glance at the Lock Screen widget for the next item due
- Generate a vessel-specific Safety Equipment Checklist PDF before the season opens

What BoatLedger is not:
- Not affiliated with the U.S. Coast Guard, any state DMV or DNR, or any government agency
- Not a navigation, weather, AIS, or chart-plotter app
- Not an official compliance certification
- Not legal or safety advice -always verify with USCG or your state's boating agency

Data Notice. BoatLedger stores all data locally on the iPhone. There is no in-app export, import, or backup feature. Your records are included in standard iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes) when enabled. The app generates Safety Equipment Checklist PDFs on demand and hands them to the iOS Share Sheet. Without an iOS Backup, deleting the app permanently loses local data.

Three reference organizations remain visible in the Reference tab: BoatUS (boatus.com / 800-395-2628), NASBLA (nasbla.org), and USCG Auxiliary (cgaux.org) -the latter performs free Vessel Safety Checks.
