Discharge/Disposal of Waste
Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food, wood,
detergents, sewage and even fish parts in certain waters – in short,
nearly everything. We recommend you bring back everything you
take out with you for proper disposal ashore.
Excessive Noise
Noise means engine noise, radio noise or even voices. Many bodies
of water have adopted noise limits. Music and loud conversation
can carry a considerable distance on water, especially at night. Be
sure to follow regulations and be courteous.
Wake/Wash
Be alert for NO WAKE zones. Prior to entering a no wake zone,
come off plane to the slowest steerable speed. Use caution when
operating around smaller crafts, in channels and marinas, and in
congested areas.
Exhaust Emissions
Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and
air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak
performance. Consult your Correct Craft dealer for information.
Paints
If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the
use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate. Be aware of
environmental regulations that may govern your paint choice.
Contact your local boating authorities for information.
