Pre-launch & Underway - Section S

F. Fire

Most fires are caused by electrical problems or care

less fueling practices. A fire on board your boat is a

serious emergency. You must work quickly to imple-

ment safety procedures. If a fire occurs, immediately

stop the engine.

1. Make sure all persons aboard are wearing their

PFDs.

2. If the fire is small, attempt to put it out with your

fire extinguisher. If the fire is in the engine com

partment, turn off the bilge blower. Do not open
the engine compartment. This feeds oxygen to

the fire and may cause it to flare up.

3. If the fire gets out of control, execute a distress

signal and call for help if equipped with a ship-to-
shore radio.

4. All persons aboard should jump overboard and

swim a safe distance away from the flames.

IMPORTANT: All persons aboard should know the

location and proper operation of the fire extinguishers.

Guidelines

• Use only approved marine cooking and heating

systems.

• Open flames demand constant attention.
• Keep flammable materials in approved contain

ers in a overboard vented locker sealed from the
interior of the boat.

•  Ensure ventilation systems are unobstructed.
•  Remove mooring covers before starting engine.
•  Check the bilge for fuel leaks.
•  Extinguish smoking materials carefully.
•   Use special care with flame or high temperatures

around urethane foam.

•  Check cleaning products for flammability.
•  Ventilate when cleaning or painting.
•   Disconnect electrical system from its power source

before performing maintenance.

• Replace breaker or fuse with same amperage

device.

D. Man Overboard

Think through and follow these procedures if someone
in your boat falls overboard.

• Remember, every second counts, you must act

fast.

• Move throttles to idle position immediately and yell

“MAN OVERBOARD. ”

• Throw some floating object overboard immedi

ately. Keep your required Type IV PFD accessible

at all times for such an emergency.

• Keep the person in the water in sight at all times.

Have a passenger do nothing but watch the per-
son. Do not go into the water to help the victim.
One person in the water is enough trouble.

• Circle around quickly, approaching into the wind

and waves. When the person is alongside, put the

engine in neutral and throw them a Type IV PFD

with a line attached or extend a paddle or boat
hook within his/her reach.

E. Collision

If a serious collision occurs, you should first check the

condition of all passengers aboard, then inspect your
boat to determine the extent of damage.

1. Make sure all persons aboard are wearing their

PFDs.

2. If you need help and your boat has a ship-to-shore

radio, first contact the U. S. Coast Guard (VHF

Channel 16) or other rescue authorities immedi

ately.

3. Prepare to assist the other vessel unless your pas-

sengers and/or boat are in danger.

4. If the bow of the other boat penetrated your boat’s

hull, prepare to block the opening once the boats
are separated.

5. Shore up the hole with a spare PFD or bunk

cushion from your boat.

6. While blocking the hole, trim the boat so that the

hole is out of the water.
