Boating Regulation Question

[Rick D]

Reviewing the CT boating laws as a refresher... I and the ones that have the biggest fines, aside from discharging a holding tank are these two:

15-129(e) Failure to comply with order re noise test (1st offense) 435.00
15-129(e) Failure to comply with order re noise test (subsequent offense) 535.00

What exactly do these two refer to.....not having an appropriate sounding device?... the way it's worded, it's not clear.

Noise from Un muffled exhausts ?

Radio Shack used to have a decibel noise meter, now there is probably an application to measure your boat's exhaust noise with your smartphone. It might be worth checking out your Smartphone applications providers.
