2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 32
RADIOSTELEPHONES
Improper use of a radio-telephone is a criminal oense. The use of
obscene, indecent or profane language during radio communica-
tions is punishable by a $10,000 fine, imprisonment for two years or
both. Other penalties exist for misuse of a radio, such as improper
use of Channel 16 VHF-FM, a calling and distress channel. It is not
to be used for conversation or radio checks. Such communications
should be conducted on an authorized channel.
REFUSE AND POLLUTION
There are stringent requirements regarding pollution, discharge of
oil, discharge of garbage and the operation and discharge from san-
itation devices. It is the boat owner’s and operator’s responsibility to
determine laws and regulations and to ensure that those laws and
regulations are respected and enforced.
Details are available through the U.S. Coast Guard.
The preceding information provides requirements within the United
States territorial waters. Boats operated under other autonomous
governmental agencies throughout the world will have their own
legal requirements, including the international MARPOL Treaty.
Boat owners and operators are responsible for determining what
those requirements are and complying with them, regardless of the
owner/operator’s citizenship.
This Owner’s Manual was developed to help ensure an enjoyable
boating experience with a fabulous MasterCraft boat. As stated
earlier, this information is not all-inclusive. There are many factors
to consider and additional information that you need to research
before undertaking any boating activity.
In addition to reading this Owner’s Manual and other related ma-
terial, and familiarizing yourself with the proper operation of the
MasterCraft boat, always use common sense when boating.
