Section 1
Discharge/Disposal of Waste
Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food,
wood, detergents, sewerage and even fish parts in certain waters
– in short, nearly everything. We recommend you bring back
everything you take out with you for proper disposal ashore.
Excessive Noise
Noise means engine noise, radio noise, loud conversation, or
even yelling. Many bodies of water have adopted noise limits.
Noise can carry a considerable distance on water, especially at
night. Be sure to follow regulations and be courteous.
Speed/ Wake/Wash
Be alert for NO WAKE zones. You are responsible for any
damage or injury caused by your wake/wash. Prior to entering
a NO WAKE zone, reduce throttle, come off plane to the
slowest steerable speed. Use caution when operating around
smaller crafts, in channels and marinas, and in congested areas.
Some states and boating areas have imposed speed limits for
the operation of boats, including, but not limited to, no-wake
zones. Check local, state, and federal agencies as to laws and
regulations. The U.S. Coast Guard and local boating authorities
are excellent sources for this information, which can include
penalties for failure to observe the requirements.
Exhaust Emissions
Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water
and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak
performance. Consult your Nautique dealer for information.
Paints
If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem,
the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate. Be
aware of environmental regulations that may govern your paint
choice. Contact your local boating authorities for information.
