The placard must also contain the warning that a person violating
these requirements is liable for civil and criminal penalties. The
placard must also state that local regulations may further restrict the
discharge of garbage. You may purchase these placards from local
marinas, boat dealers, or marine equipment suppliers.

The  U.S.  Coast  Guard  has  also  issued  regulations  requiring  boats
to  have  a  sanitation  system  on  board  to  control  pollution.  Wastes
are to be stored in a holding tank or other device, such as a Porta-
Potti,  until  the  device  can  be  can  be  pumped  out  or  otherwise
disposed  of  at  a  shore  facility.  Discharging  this  waste  overboard  is
in  most  cases  prohibited.  Check  with  the  Coast  Guard  regarding
regulations in your area.

OWNER’S LOGS AND RECORDS

At the end of this chapter are three forms which you will find very
helpful.

Use the

Boat Data Record

to record all important information about

your boat and the major components installed. After you have
entered all the data, remove this form from your Owner’s Manual
and store in a safe place.

Do not

keep this form aboard your boat.

The

Travel Plan Log

provides a record of your destination, depar-

ture  and  return  times,  boat  description,  passenger  list,  and  other
information  about  the  trip  you  have  planned.  At  the  bottom  of  the
form is space for listing emergency telephone numbers in case your
return is delayed past the expected time. It also has space for indi-
cating  information  about  the  person  filing  this  report.  Leave  the
completed form ashore with a responsible person. We recommend
you make several copies of this form each boating season to ensure
an ample supply.

The

Fuel Usage Chart

is a handy way to record information cover-

ing engine hours, fuel consumption, miles traveled, as well as RPM
(revolutions per minute), Average MPH (miles per hour), and GPH
(gallons per hour).
