ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT FIRE DANGER .
Fire may be caused by:
Crew negligence when smoking, the presence aboard of flammable liquids, electrical contacts, propulsion motor, errors in fueling, or if
maintenance has not been performed as required.
Once again, it is important that the crew behave correctly and that the boat is kept in order to avoid serious damage to it and to persons.
However, if a fire does occur aboard, stop motor, disconnect the batteries immediately, check to see if it is an electrical component or any case
a small-scale fire that does not involve flammable liquids, in which case use a suitable fire extinguisher to try and put the fire out completely.
Easily flammable products must not be kept aboard.
BATTERY: the battery may cause sparks or explosions. It must be stored in an appropriate
container, easily reached and well aired, AW AY FROM FUEL OR INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS.
Periodically check that the clips are tight and protect them with appropriate insulation in
order to prevent sparks or the spread of current.
Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment must not be kept in compartments with
key lock, but in easily accessible and clearly indicated locations.
Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment should be checked periodically and
replaced with the same or superior types
if expired or inefficient.
Equip the boat with fire-fighting equipment before launch and use.
