Discover Boating and Progressive Insurance® Debut New Episode in Safe Boating Video Series
Discover Boating, powered by NMMA and MRAA, in collaboration with Progressive Insurance, launched its second safety video in the “Top Safe Boating Tips" series this week. The video titled, Fuel Up With Confidence: Top Tips for Responsible Refueling, covers essential practices, such as employing the sniff method to detect fuel leaks or spills, ensuring there are no open flames or smoking, disembarking passengers during refueling, selecting the appropriate fuel for your vessel, and more.
The five-part series covers crucial safety topics that all boaters need to be aware of for a worry-free day on the water, including boating with pets, refueling, navigation lights usage, trailering and safe seating.

Discover Boating will also be sharing the new videos via consumer email distributions and on its websites in the U.S. and Canada.
