Overtaking
The boat that is overtaking one ahead of it is the
give-way boat and must make any adjustments
necessary to keep out of the way of the stand-on
boat. The stand-on boat should hold its course
and speed.
FUELING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain conditions.
Stop the engines and generator, and do
not smoke or allow open flames or sparks
within 50 feet (15 meters) of the fueling
area.

All precautions must be taken every time
you fuel your boat, whether it’s gasoline or
diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is non-explosive, but
it will burn.
To prevent unwarranted engine damage,
refer to your propulsion unit operator’s
manuals for recommended fuel type and
octane rating.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is
accidentally spilled, wipe up all traces of it with dry
rags and immediately dispose of the rags properly
ashore. Spilled fuel may yellow the gelcoat finish,
damage gunwale trim and discolor Imron.
When fueling:
1. Know your fuel tank capacity. Be sure to have
enough fuel to reach your destination. If
departing for an extended cruise, know the
availability of fuel along your route. Practice
the One Third Rule; 1/3 to reach the
destination, 1/3 to return and 1/3 in reserve.
2. Avoid fueling at night, except under well-
lighted conditions.
3. Moor your boat securely to the dock. Know
the location of the fire extinguisher in case of
emergency.
4. Keep accurate records of your fuel
consumption. A fuel log tracking fuel use over
time will help determine average consumption.
5. Close all doors, hatches, windows and other
compartments.
6. Extinguish cigarettes, pipes, and all other
flame producing items.
7. Make sure all power is off, and do not operate
any electrical switches.
8. Remove the fuel fill cap using the deck plate
key supplied with your boat.
