If spillage occurs accidentally, e.g. while lling fuel
or oil, please remember that these substances are
highly explosive and toxic. Do not expose them to
open ame, or store cloths used to wipe up the
spillage in the boat.
Discharge and disposal of waste
Please do not dispose of any form of waste into
the water. Most marinas have large waste bins at
the waterside for boat owners’ use, so take all your
waste products back to shore with you.
If you have a toilet installed in your boat, please only
use an approved pump-out facility at your marina.
Excessive noise
Show consideraon for fellow boaters or those
ashore. Noise carries considerable distances on
water, parcularly at night, so keep music, shoung
and engine noise as low as possible.
Wake and wash
You must always obey all speed restricons. Most
marinas will have speed restricons in the waters
nearby to prevent wash from other boats damaging
the boats in moorings.
Not all areas are marked with speed restricons, so
please reduce your speed to come o plane when
passing by areas where boats are moored, or people
are swimming.
Exhaust emissions
Hydrocarbon in exhaust emissions pollutes the air
and water. To keep exhaust emissions to a minimum,
keep your engine well-tuned and regularly clean the
hull of your cra. Your dealer will provide you with
further informaon.
Paints/cleaning agents
Marine growth on the hull of your boat can be
avoided by the use of an-fouling paint but be
aware of environmental restricons on what types
of paint you can use - your dealer or local boang
authority will be able to provide advice.
We recommend the use of environmentally- friendly
cleaners, which not only minimise the impact on
the environment, but are also eecve and safer for
you. Use all cleaners sparingly, and do not dispose of
them or their containers into the water.
Aft doors
A doors must be closed when the boat is in use.
Maintenance
General care
• Cleaning your boat
Boats generally deteriorate over lengths of me
with exposure to saltwater, sunlight, polluon.
Regular cleaning of your boat will minimise this
wear and tear.
Special boat cleaning products are available from
your boat dealer, but you must never use abrasive
products as these will damage the gelcoat surface.
Take care when cleaning the deck of your boat as
detergents can make the surface very slippery.
