Module 03 - Getting on the Water

Planning Ahead

Running out of fuel is the number one cause of boater distress. Make sure that you plan your trip requirements and carry enough fuel to get you there… and back without any trouble.

Use the ‘rule of thirds’ when considering the amount of fuel that’s required for your trip:

  • One-third (1/3) to go out.
  • One-third (1/3) to get back.
  • One-third (1/3) held in reserve.
