Beginning in 2010, all Oregon boaters 12 and older must carry their boater education card when operating power boats greater than 10 horsepower. The Oregon Legislature passed the mandatory boater education law in 1999, giving the Marine Board ten years to phase in the requirement based on age.

To qualify for a boater education card, you must show that you've completed an approved education course. Courses are readily available through the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, U.S. Power Squadron,county law enforcement officers and other partners, or via approved Internet courses accessible at www.boatoregon.com.
