Sate boating made easy

NATIONAL BOATING
Week runs throngh June 9.
Observe the Following
boating safety tips for a
safe, happy summer oa the
water.

Balance your load. When
loading your boat with pas-
sengers and gear, spread
weight evenly throughout
your boat. This will enable
your boat to get on plane
quickly and reach the desired
speed without ‘‘plowing”’ or
“porpoising.’? And you will
save fuel

Keep an eye on the
weather. Avoid false starts if
prevailing air and sea condi-
tions are questionable. Brisk
winds and heavy chop
siphon the fuel tanks.

Take a shorter cruise. You
don’t have to travel a hun-
dred miles to enjoy the
water. Visit those spots
closer to home. The gas you
save by taking a_ shorter
cruise will enable you to
spend more time on fun ac-
tivities.

Avoid excessive idling.
Whenever you have to stop,

fuel. Keep the propeller
blades clean and in good
condition.

Tune-up your engine.
Proper ignition timing and
clean spark plugs assure ex-
tra mileage. Inspect the car-
buretor for praper float
level, correct jetting and
smooth choke operation.

Trailer check. Keep car
and trailer tires properly in-
flated. Don't overload or use
too small a trailer. Lubricate
wheel bearings.

Check the tides. If you
boat in coastal tidal areas,
keep a tide schedule handy.
Boating against the tide is
hike running against the wind
— it takes more effort.
Make the tides work to your
advantage.

Clean your hull. A clean
hull means reduced under-
water drag. In some areas, it
is advisable to clean the hull
of your boat several times a
season to remove algae and
other underwater sludge.

Slow down. High speed
runs can be exhilarating, but
a wide-open throttle can in-
crease fuel consumption by
50 per cent or. more over
mid-range speeds.

Watch your weight. The
less you load the boat, the
less horsepower is required
to propel it. ‘
