You should refer to this checklist every time you board your boat. Read your owners manual so that you have a full understanding of the fuel system on your boat. Before approaching your boat, extinguish all smoking materials and make certain there are no other sources of possible ignition near your boat. Approach your boat alone to make the initial inspection. Have your guests and crew standby a safe distance away. From the dock, visually inspect your boat for any fuel leaks from the deck fills or hull vents and take notice if there is any odor of fuel. Once aboard, open the cabin door and sniff at the doorway then inside the cabin for fuel odor. Open the engine compartment hatch and sniff for fuel odor. Inspect the engine compartment and all bilge compartments for fuel leaks and sniff for fuel odor. If there are any signs of fuel leakage, either visually or by odor, open doors, hatches, and windows. Evacuate the boat and inform the dock master. Have an authorized service technician inspect your boat. If no signs of fuel are present, board your guests and crew. Run exhaust blowers for five minutes before starting the engines or generator. Always be aware of the hazards associated with fuel and practice good common sense.
