Safety Equipment
Federal and local laws require certain safety equipment to be on-
board at all times. In addition, responsible boaters carry other
equipment in case of emergency. Check with local boating
authorities for any additional requirements over and above the
federal requirements.
Fueling
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is accidentally spilled,
wipe up all traces of it with dry rags and immediately dispose of the
rags properly ashore. Spilled fuel may “yellow” the gelcoat finish
and damage gunwale trim.
Section 6
Explosion or fire hazard. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain
conditions. Turn the engine OFF and DO NOT smoke or
allow open flames or sparks within 50 feet (15 meters) of
the fueling area. Check your boat for fuel leaks and
fumes before, during and after each use. Maintain
contact between the fuel nozzle and the fuel tank to
prevent electrostatic spark. DO NOT use a plastic funnel.
