IRE
Fire is a serious boating hazard. Boats will burn
quickly. Do not remain on board and fight a fire for
more than a few minutes. If the fire cannot be
extinguished within a few minutes, abandon the
boat.
Have fire extinguishers handy. A small fire can be
extinguished quickly with the right size and type of
fire extinguisher.
• Extinguish smoking materials, shut off blowers,
stoves, engines and generators.
• Throw burning materials overboard, if possible.
• If the fire is accessible, empty the contents of
fire extinguishers at the base of the fire.
• If the fire is in the engine compartment and you
have an automatic extinguisher for the engine,
wait 15 minutes before opening the
compartment. Have a portable extinguisher
ready in case the fire flares up.
• Signal for help.
• Grab distress signals and survival gear. Put on
PFDs. Prepare to abandon ship.

APSIZING
In the event of flooding, swamping or capsizing:
• Try to shut off engines, generators and blowers,
before leaving the boat.
• Have everyone put on Personal Flotation
Devices (PFD’s).
• Account for all who were on board.

OLLISIONS AND
L
EAKING
In the event of collision and leaking:
• Slow down or stop to reduce water intake,
unless maintaining speed will keep the hole
above water.
• Switch on bilge pumps.
• Operate the manual bilge pump if the powered
bilge pumps can’t handle the water flow.
• Account for everyone on board and check for
injuries.
• Have everyone put on PFDs.
• Stay with the boat.
• Signal for help.
• If a leak patch is attempted, it should be done
from the outside.
• In the event of a collision, you are required to
file an accident repor t. Contact a state
enforcement agency or the nearest Coast Guard
office. If you are boating outside of U.S. waters,
consult the nation you are visiting for accident
reporting requirements.
• If the boat is floating stay with the boat. Hang
on, or climb on the boat and signal for help.
• Only as a last resort should you attempt to swim
to shore - it is further away than it looks and you
can tire and drown.

ROUNDING
In the event of running aground:
• Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop the
intake of water before attempting to get the boat
free.
• Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion and
steering systems.
• If the person is injured or cannot get into the
boat, a rescuer should put on a PFD with a
safety line attached to the boat and enter the
water to assist the victim.
• Handle the victim with care. Spinal injuries may
have occurred.
