I came up with a simple outline laminated drawing of the boat which I post in both heads (something to read whilst sitting there!) and on the fly bridge near the helm. The drawing indicates the location and type of fire extinguishers, first aid supplies, MOB gear, radios(and GPS for ships position), life jackets, liferaft with release instructions, EPIRB. damage plugs and flares.
