Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the start of all things summer. For many, this will mean getting the boat out of storage and back out on the lakes. We at iidon Security want you to have a fun and safe time of it on the water this season. Below are some simple boating safety reminders.
Ranking 6th in the U.S. for registered recreational boats; boaters in the state of Texas enjoy more square miles of inland waterways than any other state in the U.S. 2009 Boat Sales: $906 million.
Be sure to extinguish all smoking materials and shut off motors, fans and heating devices before fueling a boat.
In case of a fuel spill, wipe it up immediately and check the bilge for fuel leakage and odors.
After fueling and before starting the boat’s motor, ventilate with the blower for at least four minutes.
Never consume alcohol when operating a boat.
Have a good time out on the water this summer.
