SECTION 3 • USING YOUR BOAT

175 Sport

Wet decks are slippery.

You can be seriously injured if you slip and fall.

Wear slip-resistant footwear secured to your feet and

hold onto rails or boat structure.

! WARNING

4. BOARDING

• DO NOT overload the boat. Refer to Coast

Guard capacity plate located near the helm (See

Figure 1.19.1), and load to less than capacity

in adverse conditions.

• Board one person at a time and give assistance

as needed.

• Turn on blower for four minutes, then restart

engine.

• Assist passengers back into the boat.

• Transfer gear and equipment by handing it from

a person on the dock to a person on board. You

can lose your balance and be injured if you

attempt to board while carrying equipment or

gear.

• Distribute the weight of equipment and

passengers as evenly as possible to keep the

boat balanced.

• Stow gear and equipment so that it is

accessible, but everything is to be stored in

places so as to prevent it from flying about if

the boat encounters rough water or weather.

• Close all hatches, doors and keep engine

compartment closed to prevent gasoline fumes

from entering the cabin or cockpit area.

• All passengers must leave the boat, as a

precaution.

• There must be no smoking or any flames within

20 feet of the boat, before, during and for at

least 5 minutes after fueling is completed.

• Open fuel fill cap and insert hose nozzle into

the fuel fill opening. Fuel fill hose nozzle must

contact the fuel fill opening BEFORE adding fuel

to prevent discharge of static electricity.

FILLING THE TANK

• Check the fill plate label to ensure that fuel is

placed ONLY in the fuel tank. The fuel fill plate

is located on the port aft section of your boat

(Figure 3.2.1).

• Keep nozzle in contact with fuel fill opening at

all times during fueling.

• Listen as tank fills and stop adding gasoline

before it spills from the vent. Gasoline must have

room for expansion.

AFTER FILLING

• DO NOT wash spilled fuel overboard. Wipe up

any spill with rags or paper towels and dispose

of them properly on shore.

• Open engine compartment and check for

gasoline fumes. Leave compartment open until

no odor is apparent. Close compartment.

• If fumes in the engine compartment do not

disappear, do not turn on blower or start engine.

Get help from trained and experienced persons

before using the boat.
