• If the fire is in the engine compartmentand you have an automatic extinguisher that activates, wait 15 minutes before opening the compartment. Have a portable extinguisher ready in case the fire flares up. • Signal for help. • Grab distress signals and survival gear. Put on PFDs. Prepare to abandon ship. D. Flooding, Swamping and Capsizing In the event of flooding, swamping or capsizing: • Try to shut off engines, generators and blowers before leaving the boat. • Have everyone put on Personal

• Check all wiring insulation for signs of fraying or chafing. • Check all terminals for corrosion - corroded terminals and connectors should be replaced or thoroughly cleaned. • Tighten all terminals securely and spray them with light marine preservative oil. 5. Fittings, Hoses and Clamps • Inspect the entire bilge area for evidence of damage or deterioration. Evidence of deterioration will first appear around hull fittings, hoses and clamps. • Straighten kinked hoses. • Replace any hose that d

That is why the engine compartment must have forced ventilation, using the bilge blower, to remove potentially explosive gasoline vapors before the engine is started and when the boat is moving slowly. Because it may be difficult to remember to turn on the bilge blower every time you slow down the boat, (fig. 3.4.1) ! DANGER Gasoline vapors can explode Before starting the engines, open engine compartment and check for gasoline smell. • If you smell gasoline, do not start engine; get everyone off

B. Skiing • Anyone who water skis must know how to swim. • Never drive the boat directly behind a water skier. At 22 knots (25 m.p.h.), it takes only 5 seconds to overtake a fallen skier who was 60 meters (200 feet) in front. • Keep a downed skier in sight and on the operator's side of the boat when approaching the skier. Never back up to anyone in the water. • Learn the signals to communicate with a skier. The skier is to control the boat through hand signals. (See Figure 1.10.1) ! WARNING Hitt

D. Bilge Blower(s) To prevent buildup of gasoline fumes to the explosive level in the engine compartment, the bilge blowers must be run for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine and kept running at all times when the engine is running to insure that there will be adequate ventilation when you are moving slowly. The blowers may also remove deadly carbon monoxide (CO) which may be in the bilge. Run blowers when using the generator or engine. 2. Engines and Stern Drive A. Maintenance
