What is the first step in the fueling procedures?

  1. Start the engine

  2. Moor your boat

  3. Call for assistance

  4. Disconnect the fuel line

The correct answer is: Moor your boat

The first step in the fueling procedures is to moor your boat. This means to secure your boat to the dock or any other stable structure to prevent it from drifting or moving while you are fueling. Starting the engine before fueling can be dangerous as it can create sparks that can ignite fuel vapor. Calling for assistance is not necessary unless there is an emergency. Disconnecting the fuel line is also not the first step as it can cause fuel to spill and create a fire hazard. It is important to follow proper fueling procedures to ensure the safety of yourself and others around you.
