3. As you look for boat covers, make sure the one you buy is the right size for your jon boat or mini pontoon boat. Too small and you won't get full coverage; too big and it could blow off in the wind.

4. Probably the most important accessory for any boat is life jackets. Be sure that all passengers on your boat wear life jackets at all times. Captain's orders.

5. While it's imperative to have life jackets handy, it's also crucial that the life jackets fit. It's a good idea to have life jackets in various sizes so you can accommodate a variety of passengers.
