• Always put the boat in NEUTRAL before moving to and
from the tower helm and cockpit.
GOOD COMMON SENSE, JUDGMENT AND EXTREME
CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN OPERATING
A BOAT WITH SOMEONE IN THE TOWER. DO NOT
ALLOW ANYONE IN THE TOWER WHEN THE WATER
IS ROUGH OR WHEN OPERATING IN UNFAMILIAR
WATERS WHERE RUNNING AGROUND IS A
POSSIBILITY. REMEMBER, WEIGHT IN THE TOWER
RAISES THE BOAT’S CENTER OF GRAVITY AND
THE BOAT’S MOTION IS GREATLY EXAGGERATED
FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWER.
12.13 Trash Disposal
The discharge of plastic trash or trash mixed with plastic is il-
legal anywhere in the marine environment. U.S. Coast Guard
regulations also restrict the dumping of other forms of garbage.
Regional, State, and local restrictions on garbage discharges
also may apply.
Responsible boaters store refuse in bags and dispose of it prop
-
erly on shore. You should make sure your passengers are aware
of the local waste laws and the trash management procedure on
your boat. Refer to the placard mounted on your boat for more
specific information regarding solid waste disposal.
Federal law requires that vessels of 26 feet or longer must
display in a prominent location, a durable placard at least 4 by
9 inches notifying the crew and passengers of the discharge
restrictions (Marpol Treaty). A label for this purpose has been
shipped with the boat. It is the boat owner’s responsibility to
make sure this placard remains mounted and legible in accor-
dance with the law.
12.14 Transporting Your Boat
Your Albemarle is a large boat and should only be trailered by
professionals that have the knowledge and equipment to move
large boats without causing damage.
Please contact your dealer or the Albemarle Customer Service
Department if you are planning to transport your boat and have
any questions in regard to the proper equipment and support
for the hull.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT
DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL. ALWAYS
MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND PADS
ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING
EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES
AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR
THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM
IMPROPER TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED
BY THE ALBEMARLE WARRANTY.
