Pleasant Hill Ohio Boating Education Course

All newer boaters must pass an Ohio Boating Education Course (OBEC) before getting behind the wheel. Boat operators born on or after January 1, 1982, must complete a boating course or pass a proficiency exam. Classroom boating courses offer hands-on instruction with audio and visual materials and give boaters a chance to ask questions directly to an instructor. Topics include knowing your boat, operating safely, legal requirements, and boating emergencies. The Course will be team-taught by certified Instructors along with MWCD and ODNR officers, which include a minimum of eight hours of teaching and a written exam.
