Responsibility to Environment: Avoid Toxic Products

Avoid using toxic substances on your vessel or around the water.

• Reduce the amount of detergent you use when cleaning your vessel. Use non-phosphate products, such as hydrogen peroxide, on your vessel. Don’t use toxic cleaners.
• Don’t use toxic paints or other toxic products on your vessel. If you must use chemical products on your vessel, minimize their use while on the water.
• Before the first use of your vessel in the spring, drain the antifreeze into a container and properly dispose of it on shore. Never use antifreeze containing ethylene glycol.
• When fueling, don’t top off the tank. Promptly mop up any fuel spills.
