PLEASE PRESERVE NATURE
Protect and preserve your boating waters and their land access. Never pollute the water or land with oil, gas, or other harmful products. For example, make sure you dispose of used gear oil properly following a gear oil change. Also remember not to litter. With a little bit of effort, our boating waters can be enjoyed for many years to come.
Suzuki Motor Corporation believes in conservation and protection of Earth's natural resources.
To that end, we encourage every outboard motor owner to recycle, trade in, or properly dispose of, as appropriate, used oil and batteries.
TAKE A BOATING SAFETY CLASS
An educated boater will enjoy boating more and will be a safer boater. We recommend that you take a boating safety class.
Classes explaining required and recommended equipment for small boats and offering training in good seamanship are conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the U.S. Power Squadron, and many Red Cross chapters. For information on classes in your area, call toll-free 1800-336-BOAT (-2628).
Your state's department of boating and your Suzuki Marine dealer can supply you with additional information on boating safety and regulations, or you can call the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-368-5647.
