Proper working lights if you are going on Friday eve cruise.
Fire extinguisher, anchor & rope, horn, paddle, life vest of proper size for all passengers.
Children under 12 need vest on when boat is under power.
Horn, throwable & something red or orange to wave if in trouble.


What did I miss?

something red or orange to wave if in trouble.

That's news to me.

Does an anchor count as a throwable? J/K

Not required but recommended.
I don't think an anchor & rope are required either.
