special environmental tag

Proposition 65
Discharge/Disposal of Waste
Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics,
recyclables, food, wood, detergents, sewage and
even fish parts in certain waters - in short, nearly
everything. We recommend you bring back
everything you take out with you for proper disposal
ashore. Use an approved pump-out facility at your
marina. Many areas prohibit the discharge of
sewage overboard or even an operable overboard
waste discharge.
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
considerable distance on water, especially at night.
A
DANGER
Avoid fire or explosion. Fumes from rags
can collect in bilge and be extremely
hazardous. DO NOT store rags used to
wipe up fuel or solvent spills in the boat.
Dispose of rags properly ashore.
