Oil And Fuel Spills; Unloading And Disposal Of Waste; Wakes And Eddies; Exhaust Fumes - Vanguard KD 300 Owner's Manual

5.1.1 OIL AND FUEL SPILLS

Oil and fuel spills contaminate the environment and are dangerous to wildlife.
Never discharge oil or fuel in the water: it is prohibited, and you may be fined.
Remember that there are two common types of accidental spillage:
- Overfilling the fuel tank.
- Pumping out dirty water from the bilge.
Gases from dirty rags can accumulate in the bilge and become extremely
dangerous. If you are going to clean a small space with no ventilation, use an
appropriate mask. Never keep on board any rag or cloth that has been used
to clean up fuel or solvent spills. Dispose of them correctly on shore.

5.1.2 UNLOADING AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE

Waste includes all types of rubbish, plastics, recyclable materials, wood, food,
detergents, foul water etc. Always take back to shore everything that was
taken aboard for its correct disposal.

5.1.3 WAKES AND EDDIES

Be on the alert for areas marked NO WAKE. You could be held responsible for
damage or injury caused by your wake, waves or eddies. Before entering any
such area, reduce your speed to a minimum.

5.1.4 EXHAUST FUMES

Hydrocarbon particles from exhaust fumes contaminate both air and water.
Keep the engine in perfect condition and the hull clean. For more information,
consult the engine's manual.

5.1.5 PAINTS

Respect all environmental legislation that may affect your choice of paint.

5.1.6 CLEANING PRODUCTS

Domestic cleaning products must be used sparingly and never discharged into
the water. DO NOT USE cleaning products that contain phosphates,
chlorines, solvents, non-biodegradable or petrol-based elements. Citrus-based
products are the best for cleaning in a marine environment.
