Before starting the engine, operate the power ventilation system (blower) to remove any fuel vapors from below-deck spaces.
There are a number of things that you should do before and while fuelling your boat. The basic thing is to ensure that you have turned off the engine and you are not smoking around the boat.
After fueling a boat, the blower should be turned on for a minimum of 4 to 5 minutes before starting the engine. This ensures that any potentially harmful fuel vapors are cleared from the engine compartment, reducing the risk of explosion or fire. Always refer to the boat's owner manual for specific recommendations related to your vessel. Safety is paramount, so never skip this step.

Before launching your boat at a boat ramp, you should park your vehicle in the standby area to load your equipment and supplies. You should not enter the ramp area until your items are loaded.
You should let the ventilation system run about four minutes before starting the engine on a boat.
