during
keep nozzle in contact with tank opening, aviod spilling, leave room
in the tank, wipe up any spilled fuel
after
open windows back up, smell for fuel vapors
2. if vessel is equipped with turn it on for at least 4 minutes before/after fueling to remove gas
a power ventilation sys- vapors in the bilge
tem... (fueling)
3. fuel selector switch on a off- when pwc's engine is off
pwc on- when you are underway
reserve- if you run out of fuel (will allow you to return)
4. preventing theft store vessel in locked garage, park another vehicle in front of trailer,
secure vessel to a fixed object with chain/lock, remove a trailer wheel
if storing for a long time, purchase a trailer hitch lock
5. trailering (before leaving) evenly distribute weight, secure vessel with straps, tilt/secure engine,
crisscross safety chains, make sure trailer brakes/lights work
6. trailering (on the road) think farther ahead on the road than usual, be aware of any lower
speed limits for trailers
7. trailering (launching) prepare vessel away from boat ramp, back vessel into water until the
lower unit of the engine can be submerged while on the trailer, once

13. stand-on vessel the vessel that should maintain its course and speed
14. give-way vessel the vessel that must take early and substantial action to avoid collision
by stopping, slowing down, or changing course
15. meeting head-on power vs. power- neither vessel is the stand on, both keep right
power vs. sail- power is the give-way
16. crossing situations power vs. power- vessel on the operator's port is the give-way, vessl
on the operator's starboard is the stand-on
power vs. sail- power is the give-way
