Module 03 - Before Heading Out
Planning Ahead
Running out of fuel is the number one cause of boater distress. You should always be sure to plan your requirements and carry enough fuel.
As a general practice you should use the rule of thirds when considering the amount of fuel required:
- 1/3 out
- 1/3 back
- 1/3 in reserve
