gage in teak surfing and warns that teak surfing
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning and even
fatalities.
Teak surfing not only exposes an individual to
potentially fatal concentrations of carbon mon-
oxide from the engine exhaust, it exposes them
unnecessarily and dangerously to the boat’s
propeller. The danger is compounded by the fact
that individuals do not usually wear a life jacket
when teak surfing.
Teak surfing is an extremely dangerous activity
and you should never allow anyone to “Teak Surf”
behind your boat or be in the water near the ladder
or swim platform while the engine is operating.
WARNING
TEAK SURFING (HOLDING ONTO THE SWIM PLATFORM WHILE
BOAT IS UNDERWAY) IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN
CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. TEAK SURFING PUTS AN
INDIVIDUAL DIRECTLY THE PATH OF THE BOAT’S EXHAUST
AND EXPOSES THEM TO POISONOUS LEVELS OF CARBON
MONOXIDE. IT ALSO EXPOSES AN INDIVIDUAL TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF BEING THROWN INTO THE PROPELLERS.
YOU SHOULD NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO TEAK SURF BEHIND
YOUR BOAT OR TO BE IN THE WATER NEAR THE LADDER OR
SWIM PLATFORM WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
2.15 Trash Disposal
The discharge of plastic trash or trash mixed with
plastic is illegal anywhere in the marine environ-
ment. U.S. Coast Guard regulations also restrict
the dumping of other forms of garbage. Regional,
state and local restrictions on garbage discharges
also may apply.
Responsible boaters store refuse in bags and
dispose of it properly on shore. You should make
sure your passengers are aware of the local waste
laws and the trash management procedure on
your boat. Refer to the placard mounted on your
boat for more specific information regarding solid
waste disposal.
Federal law requires that vessels of 26 feet or
longer must display in a prominent location, a
durable placard at least 4 by 9 inches notifying
the crew and passengers of the discharge restric-
tions (Marpol Treaty). A label for this purpose
has been shipped with the boat and is attached to
the port side of the cockpit. It is the boat owner’s
responsibility to make sure this placard remains
mounted and legible in accordance with the law.
