The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) announced that it has created a special task force aimed at improving safety during boat refueling and enhancing education around recreational boat fuel systems.
Spearheaded by the Boating Industry Risk Management Council and the Boat and Yacht Certification Committee, the initiative brings together key stakeholders — including the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA), Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) — to evaluate current regulations, analyze field data and develop best practices for consumers, dealers and service technicians.
In support of the effort, the NMMA has released a new Marine Fuel Systems Safety brochure, which is available for free download on its website. Experts from NMMA, including Scott Berry (VP of Engineering Standards), affirm that the goal is to bolster boater safety through awareness, regular inspections and preventive maintenance.
