adequate personal liability and property damage insurance on your boat as you do on your home
and automobile. You should also protect your investment by insuring your boat, motor, and trailer
against physical damage or theft. Please contact a qualied Insurance professional to help you.
DISPOSAL OF PLASTICS & OTHER GARBAGE:
Plastic refuse dumped in water can kill sh and marine wildlife and can damage propellers and water
intakes. Other forms of waterborne garbage can litter beaches and cause infection and illness. U.S.
Coast guard regulations completely prohibit the dumping of plastic refuse or other garbage mixed
with plastic anywhere, and restrict the dumping of other forms of trash within specied distances
from shore. Do not litter.
MARINE SANITARY DEVICE:
You are responsible for obeying all local laws concerning waste discharge. If your boat has a porta-
potti, contact the coast guard, local marina, or your dealer for information concerning these laws.
