This is the Idea Exchange, a place to share ideas that have worked for you in the areas of VE and PV. It's a place where your fellow VE and PV Auxiliarists can come to learn from those that have pioneered the path to success in VE or PV. This is not the forum for complaints or questions, just good solid tips from member to member. Only good solid ideas will be displayed after being reviewed by the V Department Staff. To submit your idea, click here. If you have a photo image in JPG format that you would like posted with your idea submission to give emphasis on your idea, you can email it to the webmaster after posting your submission. If the image is of good enough quality we will add it to your posting.

PV Program. The Partnership program has been of great benefit to this flotilla mainly because we massage it regularly however, I would like to see a rather large decal that could be placed on the door or window of an RBS Partner to appropriately distinguish places giving extra good assistance to the Coast Guard in promoting Boating Safety. Most likely this would help to better cement this Partnership. +++ Submitted by: peter border, SO-VE/fso-pv from

Since the cardboard 6-pack racks are no longer available and we are still seeking a sponsor, why not change the design and go with some kind of plastic that will stand up longer and still remain light weight? We definitely need more racks and the old design is good, however, needs lots of repairs.. +++ Submitted by: Gary Akin, from

HALON and other gaseous fire extinguishers (FE)--Care should be taken to confirm that the required FEs on a vessel are CG-approved. Most of the new clean agent FEs being used to replace HALON require greater amounts to be as effective as HALON. While 2.5 pounds of HALON typically meets USCG requirements for Type B:I certification, the newer replacement clean agents typically require upwards of 5 pounds to be certified as a Type B:I.

Harvey Gilbert recommended that VEs carry MARPOL decals so that a boater does not fail a VSC for only that reason.
