Always operate the bilge blower (if installed) prior to starting
the engines or generator. Gasoline vapors can explode,
resulting in death or serious injury. Before starting the engines
or generator, perform the following:
• Sniff the engine room for fuel vapors.
• Operate the bilge blower(s) for a minimum of 4 minutes.
• Verify the bilge blower(s) are operating properly.
Always run the bilge blower when the vessel is operating below
cruising speed.
• Never overload your boat! An overloaded boat, or one with
uneven weight distribution, can be difficult to steer.
• Have up-to-date charts aboard. You will need current charts of
the area you'll be cruising to stay on proper course. Charts can
be obtained at your closest marine outlet or store or through the
U.S. Government online bookstore.

Safety On Board
!
WARNING
• Never drink and drive! As captain, you
are responsible for the safety of your
passengers and yourself. Alcohol and
boating can be a dangerous combination.
DO NOT mix them. Alcohol impairs the
boat operator's ability to make conscious
decisions and react to emergency situations
quickly.
• Be certain there is enough fuel aboard
for your cruising needs. Include any
reserve that might be needed should
you change your plans due to weather or
emergency. Practice the "one-third rule:
(Use one-third of your fuel going out,
one-third to return and keep one-third as
a reserve).
