 Respect no wake zones, the rights
of other water users and the envi-
ronment. As the “skipper” and

one to throw refuse overboard.
 Remember, gasoline fumes are in-
flammable and explosive. Always
adhere to the fueling procedure
contained in this Guide and those
given to you by the marina. Always
verify fuel level before use and dur-
ing the ride. Apply the principle of

1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carry
spare fuel or inflammable liquids in
any of the storage or engine com-
partments.

der water may cause severe engine
problems due to water ingestion.
