Here's the full manual: Vessel Safety Check Manual (http://www.uscg.mil/directives/cim/16000-16999/cim_16796_8.pdf)   Page 47 has the checklist.  If you're planning on fishing Canadian Waters, make sure you also take a quick look at their checklist (http://ccga-gcac.ca/files/library/PCSC_Check_Form_en.pdf) too.  There's not much different, other than a few minor details.

Tight lines!

Flares are a must due to international waters alot of people miss that! The blow up vest must be on to count as a jacket, so have regular life jackets on board if not wearing the blows ups all the time. 8)
