183.401 - Purpose and applicability
(a) This subpart applies to all boats
that have gasoline engines, except outboard engines,
for electrical generation, mechanical power,
or propulsion. |
FIGURE
1 - Applicability
NOTE:
Boats powered with outboard engine(s) are not subject to these
regulations unless there is also a gasoline powered engine
installed on the boat such as a gasoline powered auxiliary
generator. The outboard motor and its associated control wiring
are excepted. Associated control wiring includes power cables,
ignition wires, gauge wires, etc. A battery used only for
the trolling motor becomes part of its associated control
wiring and is therefore not subject to the regulation’s
requirements, including the battery securing and restraint
requirements of 183.420.
