STOLEN BOAT

Please contact me at 775 742-4223 or the Citrus Heights Police Department regarding Case # 0805395 at 916 727-5500 if you have seen this boat or have information about the white pickup truck and other vehicle that committed the crime. The police are currently working on several clues reported by the neighbors and found at the scene.


Notice to drivers planning to race IHBA
Please check the IHBA site for new requirements for this year regarding electrical shutoff and ear bud radio requirements.

"MARCH 4, 2008
MASTER CUT OFFS in 2008:
An electrical power cut off switch (one only) must be installed near the batteries and be easily accessible from the outside of the boat.  This cut off switch must be connected to the positive side of the electrical system and must stop all electrical functions.  The "OFF" position must be clearly indicated with the word "OFF".  If the switch is a push/pull type, "push" must be the action for shutting off the electrical system.  (Pull to turn it on.)  Any rods or cables used to activate the switch must be a minimum of 1/8 inch diameter.  Plastic or key switches prohibited.  The power cut off switch must be placed in a location so if there's a fire in the engine, drivers area or compartment, rescue crew or track officials can reach it."
