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. These are two common,
accidental types of discharge:
● Overfilling the fuel tanks
● Pumping contaminated bilge water
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.
Marine Sanitation
NOTICE
Direct disposal of sanitation waste into
some waters is prohibited and could
result in being fined. Be sure to check
local regulations.
Have your Formula dealer properly service the
waste disposal system when needed.
Excessive Noise
Noise means engine noise, radio noise or even
voices. Many bodies of water have adopted
noise limits. Do not use thru-transom exhaust
unless you’re well off shore. Music and loud
conversation can carry a considerable distance
on water, especially at night. Be sure to follow
regulations and be courteous.
To avoid damaging the waste disposal
system and the environment, do not
place facial tissues, paper towels or
sanitary napkins in the head.
REPAIRS AND
MODIFICATIONS
Your Formula boat has been designed for safety
in the harsh marine environment and thoroughly
tested and certified for compliance with
applicable safety standards. Because of the
possibility of interference with the structural
design of the boat, owner installation of
additional equipment or modifications of factory
equipment is not recommended and may void
manufacturer’s warranties.
In addition, do not attempt to make repairs
unless you are certified to do so. Be sure to have
the necessary authorized repair information, and
use approved marine replacement parts.
Your Formula dealer is qualified to ensure
repairs, additions or modifications to your boat
will not compromise safety, design integrity or
warranty coverage.
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
As a boater, you already appreciate 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.
MARPOL Treaty
The USCG enforces the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from
ships, commonly referred to as the MARPOL
Treaty (MARine POLlution). This treaty prohibits
the overboard dumping of all ship-generated
plastics, chemicals, garbage and oil.
Fuel/Oil Spillage
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.
