You are right, I do not have anything like that and it is not likely I
would ever be in that spot. I just carry liability and it is about $60
a year.

There is minimal risk of fuel spill damage with outboards unless you
have large built in tanks. Some of the damage assessments that I've
heard about seem inflated and arbitrary however.


I seldom have more than 10 gallons of gas on board and it is not
likely anyone would see the spill anyway. As bad as gasoline is, you
are not going to have dead shore birds and a ring around the harbor.

Chances are if I had that kind of casualty, the fire would burn most
of it ;-)
