Fire Extinguishing System
(ISO 9094-1)
Boats with outboard motor of more than 25 kW shall carry one or more portable fire
extinguishers with a minimum combined capacity of 8A/68B
General Requirements;
•
Any portable fire extinguisher is readily accessible
•
If the portable fire extinguisher is located where it is exposed to water spray, the extinguisher
operating nozzle and triggering device is shielded, unless the extinguisher is certified or listed
for marine service.
•
The extinguisher may be stowed away in a locker or other protected or enclosed space. The
locker or opening part of the enclosed space door shall carry the appropriate ISO symbol.
Fire extinguishers and fire blankets must be checked and maintained in line with manufacturers'
recommendations. Make sure they are stowed correctly and fully accessible and that every crew
member knows when and how to use them. Check fire extinguisher pressure and expiry date.
Servicing of fire-fighting equipment
The boat owner/operator shall
have fire-fighting equipment checked at the intervals indicated on the equipment,
replace portable fire extinguishers, if expired or discharged, by devices of identical fire-fighting
capacity, and
have fixed systems refilled or replaced when expired or discharged.
Responsibility of boat owner/operator
It is the responsibility of the boat owner/operator
a) to ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible when the boat is occupied, and
b) to inform members of the crew about
the location and operation of fire-fighting equipment,
the location of discharge openings into the engine space, and
the location of routes and exits.

Fuel System
•
Gasoline is highly flammable and it’s vapors are flammable and explosive.
•
Regularly check your fuel system for any leaks or signs of wear or damage.
•
Use care
when transporting the fuel tank, whether in the boat or car.
•
Close the air vent and fuel cock to prevent fuel from leaking when in storage or transportation
•
Do Not fill the fuel container to maximum capacity. Gasoline will expand considerably as it
warms up and can build up pressure in the container. This pressure can cause leakage and a
potential fire hazard.
Your craft will be supplied with an engine manufacturer’s external fuel tank.
Please refer to the engine owner’s manual for specific fuel system information.
An additional fuel filter/water separator may be installed on the transom. This is a metal can, spin on
type filter element. It is recommended this element is changed annually or more frequently with heavy
use.
Location of through-hull fittings
1 x drainage bung located at the stern of the boat in the deck sump.
