oh yes!!! if the local/state/fed finds you caused a spill you get hit with fine(s), cost to contain, etc etc etc. if your boat sinks, or gets hit, the local/state/fed will bring in staff and put an containment boom around the boat. you get charged for this. doesn't take a lot of oil/gas to create a lot of problems (most obvious is the oily sheen on the water). -- :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com On Mon, Aug 17, 2015 at 2:46 PM, Daniel Rich <danielgrich@gmail.com> wrote:
Well, given that my Honda outboard has about 1 pint of oil, and about 3 pints of gasoline when full, would this really be much of an issue?

another issue is i doubt home owners will cover the cleanup cost if you cause an oil/gas spill (this is part of BoatUS insurance).
