Beginning with 1999 model year en-
gines, PWC manufacturers of marine
engines must determine the exhaust
emission levels for each engine
horsepower family and certify these
engines with the United States of
America Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). An emissions control
information label, showing emission
levels and engine specifications, must
be placed on each watercraft at the
time of manufacture.
DDeeaalleerr''ss RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittyy
When performing service on all 1999
and more recent Sea-Doo watercraft
that carry an emissions control infor-
mation label, adjustments must be
kept within published factory
specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emis-
sion related component must be exe-
cuted in a manner that maintains
emission levels within the prescribed
certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine
in any manner that would alter the
horsepower or allow emission levels
to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's
prescribed changes, such as altitude
adjustments for example.
OOwwnneerr’’ss RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittyy
The owner/operator is required to
have engine maintenance performed
to maintain emission levels within pre-
scribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and
should not allow anyone to modify the
engine in any manner that would alter
the horsepower or allow emissions
levels to exceed their predetermined
factory specifications.

All 1999 and more recent Sea-Doo
watercraft manufactured by BRP are
certified to the EPA as conforming to
the requirements of the regulations for
the control of air pollution from new
watercraft engines. This certification is
contingent on certain adjustments
being set to factory standards. For this
reason, the factory procedure for serv-
icing the product must be strictly fol-
lowed and, whenever practicable,
returned to the original intent of the
design.
The responsibilities listed above are
general and in no way a complete list-
ing of the rules and regulations per-
taining to the EPA requirements on
exhaust emissions for marine prod-
ucts. For more detailed information on

Starting with MY 2018; personal
watercraft sold in the State of Califor-
nia are certified to the California evap-
orative emissions regulations for
spark ignition marine watercraft of the
California Air Resources Board (13
CCR 2850 to 2869). These models
are equipped with an evaporative
emission control system consisting of
Low Permeation Fuel Tank (LPFT),
Low Permeation Fuel Line (LPFL) and
a Pressure Relief Valve (PRV).
