12.4 Operating Your Boat
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES,
OPERATE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BLOWER FOR FIVE (5) MINUTES,
OPEN THE ENGINE HATCH, INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK
THE ENGINES FOR THE ODOR OF GASOLINE VAPORS. ALWAYS OPER-
ATE THE BLOWER WHILE THE ENGINES ARE AT IDLE. DO NOT START
OR OPERATE THE ENGINES IF FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS PROCEDURE BE OVERLOOKED.
After Starting the Engines:
• Check the engine gauges. Make sure they are reading normally.
• Visibly check the engines to be sure there are no apparent water, fuel or oil leaks.
• Check the operation of the engine cooling systems by inspecting the transom exhaust ports
for water flow. (Refer to the Engine Cooling System section of the Propulsion System
chapter.)
• Check the steering and engine controls for proper operation.
• Make sure all lines, cables, anchors, etc. for securing a boat are on board and in good
condition. All lines should be coiled, secured and off the decks when underway.
• Have a safe cruise and enjoy yourself.
Remember:
When you operate a boat, you accept the responsibility for the boat, for the safety of passengers
and for others out enjoying the water.
• Alcohol and any drugs can severely reduce your reaction time and affect your better
judgment.
• Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to several different signals at once.
• Alcohol makes it difficult to correctly judge speed and distance, or track moving objects.
• Alcohol reduces night vision, and the ability to distinguish red from green.
YOU SHOULD NEVER OPERATE YOUR BOAT WHILE UNDER THE INFLU-
ENCE OF ALCOHOL AND DRUGS.
