Chapter 3: General Information
Disposal of Plastics or Garbage
The MARPOL ANNEX V is the Act to prevent pollution from ships and other vessels. Federal regulations
prohibit the discharge of plastic garbage anywhere in the marine environment. Plastic includes, but is not
limited to: synthetic fishing nets, ropes, lines, straws, six pack holders, styrofoam cups and lids, bottles,
buckets and plastic bags. These regulations also restrict the disposal of other types of garbage within
specified boundaries from shore. Any vessel 26 feet (7.9 m) and over must display the placard below or a
similar version at least 4" x 9" (10.2 cm x 22.9 cm) which details the regulations. If your boat is 26 feet or
greater in length, an adhesive backed label that meets these requirements is provided in your owner’s
packet. It is your responsibility to display this placard on the vessel in a prominent location readily accessible
to crew and passengers.
Trailering
The adjustment and balance of your boat on the trailer determines how easily your boat may be
transported. The tongue weight on the hitch ball should be 5-10% of the total weight of your boat, motor and
trailer. Tail-heavy loads cause swaying while trailering. The rollers and/or bunkers of your trailer should be
adjusted so that the weight is distributed evenly across the stern and forward throughout the keel sections.
Your dealer can help adjust your trailer properly.
Practice maneuvering the trailer; the trailer always backs in the opposite direction of the vehicle. To
maneuver the trailer, turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the trailer to go. Familiarize yourself
with this manual and all aspects of your boat prior to initial launch. At the launch site, go through a pre-
launch checklist. The list should be suited to your specific needs.
Trailering and relative information can be found on page 105 in Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s
Manual .
