The following warning is offered for boats sold in the State of California in accordance with California Heath & Safety Code §§ 25249.5-.13:

!WARNING

A wide variety of components used on this vessel contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Examples include:

Engine and generator exhaust

Engine and generator fuel, and other liquids such as coolants and oil, especially used motor oil

Cooking fuels

Cleaners, paints, and substances used for vessel repair

Waste materials that result from wear of vessel components

Lead from battery terminals and from other sources such as ballast or fishing sinkers

To Avoid Harm:

Keep away from engine, generator, and cooking fuel exhaust fumes.

Wash areas thoroughly with soap and water after handling the substances above.

A. Fuel and Oil Spillage

Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste in navigable waters. Discharge is defined as any action which causes a film, sheen or discoloration on the water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath the water surface. A common violation is bilge discharge. Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste, then dispose of it properly ashore. If there is much fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never pump contaminated bilge overboard. Help protect your waters.

Fill tank(s) less than rated capacity. Allow for fuel expansion.
