RENDERING ASSISTANCE
If you see a distress signal or suspect a boat is in trouble, you must assume it is
a real emergency and render assistance immediately . By law, the operator in
charge of the craft is obligated to provide assistance to any individual in dan-
ger if such assistance can be provided safely . Failure to render assistance can
result in a fine and/or imprisonment .
The 1971 Boating Safety Act grants protection to a “Good Samaritan” boater
providing good faith assistance, and absolves a boater from any civil liability aris-
ing from such assistance .
OUR ENVIRONMENT
As a boater, you already have an appreciation for nature’s beauty and the
peace of the great outdoors . It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the natural
environment by keeping waterways clean .
Foreign Species
If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you may unknowingly introduce a for-
eign aquatic species from one lake to the next . Thoroughly clean the boat and
trailer below the water line, remove all weeds and algae, and drain the bilge
and ballast tanks, if equipped, before launching the boat in a new body of water .
WARNING
Leaking Fuel is a fire and explosion hazard . Inspect system regularly .
Examine fuel System for Leaks or Corrosion at least annually .
The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the environment and is
dangerous to wildlife .
DO NOT
discharge or dispose of fuel, oil or other chemicals
into the water; it is prohibited and you can be fined .
DO NOT
overfill the fuel tank, pump contaminated bilge water or discard soiled
rags into the water .
Discharge/Disposal of Waste
Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food, wood, detergents,
sewage and even fish parts in certain waters, essentially anything . Bring back
everything you take out and dispose of in an environmentally friendly manner
ashore .
Excessive Noise
Noise means engine noise, radio noise or even voices . Many bodies of water
have adopted noise limits . Music and loud conversation can carry a consider-
able distance on water, especially at night . Make sure to follow regulations and
be courteous .
Wake/Wash
Be alert for NO WAKE zones . Prior to entering a NO WAKE zone, come off plane
to the slowest steerable speed . Use caution when operating around smaller
crafts, in channels and marinas, and in congested areas .
Exhaust Emissions
Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and air . Keep your
engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak performance .
Paints
If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of
anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate . Be aware of environmental
regulations that may govern your paint choice . Contact your local boating
authorities for information .
Cleaning Agents
Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways .
DO NOT
mix cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas .
