Operation

2.3  Pre-Cruise Check

Before Starting the Engines:

•  Check the weather forecast and sea conditions 

before leaving the dock.  Decide if the planned 

cruise can be made safely.

•  Be sure all required documents are on board.

•  Be  sure  all  necessary  safety  equipment  is 

on board and operative.  This should include 

items like the running lights, spotlight, life 

saving devices, etc. Please refer to the Safety 

Equipment chapter for additional information 

on safety equipment.

•  Make sure you have signal kits and flare guns 

aboard and they are current and in good 

operating condition.

•  Be sure you have sufficient water and other 

provisions for the planned cruise.

•  Leave  a  written  message  listing  details  of 

your planned cruise with a close friend ashore 

(Float Plan).  The float plan should include a 

description of your boat, where you intend 

to cruise and a schedule of when you expect 

to arrive in the cruising area and when you 

expect to return.   Keep the person informed 

of any changes in your plan to prevent false 

alarms.  This information will tell authorities 

where to look and the type of boat to look for 

in the event you fail to arrive.

•  Check the amount of fuel on board.  Observe 

the “Rule of Thirds”: one third of the fuel for 

the trip out, one third to return and one third in 

reserve.  An additional 15% may be consumed 

in rough seas.

•  Check the water separating fuel filters for leaks 

or corrosion.

•  Check the crankcase oil level in each engine.

•  Turn the battery switches on. 

•  Check the bilge water level.  Look for other 

signs of potential problems.  Monitor for the 

scent of fuel fumes.

•  Test  the  automatic  and  manual  bilge  pump 

switches to make sure the systems are working 

properly.  This is particularly important before 

running offshore.

•  Have a tool kit aboard.  The kit should include 

the following basic tools:

Hammer

Electrician’s tape

Screwdrivers

Offset screwdrivers  

Lubricating oil 

Pliers

Jackknife

Adjustable wrench

Basic 3/8” ratchet set

Vise grip pliers

Hex key set

Needle nose pliers

Wire crimping tool

Wire connector Set

End wrench set

Medium slip-joint pliers

Diagonal cutting pliers DC electrical test light

WARNING

THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE PERSONAL FLOTATION 

DEVICE ON BOARD FOR EVERY PERSON ON BOARD AND 

ONE THROW-OUT FLOTATION DEVICE.  CHECK THE U.S. 

COAST GUARD STANDARDS FOR THE CORRECT TYPE OF 

DEVICE FOR YOUR BOAT.

•  Have the following spare parts on board:

Extra light bulbs

Spark plugs

Fuses and circuit breakers Main 12 volt fuses
Assorted stainless screws Assorted stainless bolts
Flashlight and batteries Drain plugs
Engine oil

Propellers

Fuel filters

Propeller hub kits

Fuel hose and clamps Wire ties
Assorted hose clamps

Hydraulic steering fluid

Spare bilge pump

Rags

  

    

 

•  Make sure all fire extinguishers are in position 

and in good operating condition.

•  Check  the  engine  and  steering  controls  for 

smooth and proper operation.  Be sure the 

shift controls are in the neutral position.

•  Be  sure  the  emergency  stop  lanyard  is  at

-

tached to the operator and the stop switch.

•  Refer to the engine owner’s manual for pre-

operation checks specific to your engines.
