CFR Pub. Requirements on board

[Cal]

[QUOTE=Boatahaulic;54187]I’ve checked the forums and have looked through the 46CFR’s and I can’t find the regulation for carrying the CFR’s on board. Specifically if we can carry an electronic version on board (cd, Memory stick etc.) instead of the paper copies. I’m on a 500 GT 298ft vessel and I know we need them on board however the paper copies are expensive. If anyone can help it would be appreciated especially with a CFR location #.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Yes, but, basically, have a backup…
