Fuel & Oil Spillage
Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste in
navigable waters. Discharge is defined as any action
which causes a film, sheen or discoloration on the
water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath
the water surface. A common violation is bilge
discharge. Violators are subject to severe penalties
and may also be responsible for the cost of clean up,
which can be substantial.
Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste,
then dispose of them properly ashore. If there is a
large quantity of fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a
knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never
pump contaminated bilge discharge overboard.

The 170 Montauk is equipped with a gasoline fuel
system. Please take time to read and understand
all the fuel related information and warnings
regarding gasoline and your boat, in the engine
owner's packet.
This system has been designed to meet the EPA
regulations using certified components to limit the
fuel vapor emissions.
Your fuel system provides the following benefits:

system, reducing the possibility of accidental
fuel spills.
• Reduce hydrocarbon emissions through the
use of a specially designed fuel fill. This
fuel fill has a permanently attached cap with
a positive closure mechanism with an audible
click, to let you know when it is sealed.
CAUTION

Use of improper fuel can seriously damage your
engine. Engine damage resulting from use of
improper fuel is considered misuse of engine
