Re: Honda 2000 built in.

We do have to be careful about reliance on the word “law”.

If we mean it solely to be that “if one is boarded by enforcement officers and the issue observed they could charge the boat owner for...

Re: Honda 2000 built in.

For the record, the post you have referred to as “curt”... (a response so brief it may be considered rude) I consider “intentionally insulting and rude”, and to me these are very different things.

Re: Honda 2000 built in.

Well, I believe this is just another example of personal accusation without validation.

Anything valid to contribute to the subject, “Honda 2000 Built-in”?

Re: Honda 2000 built in.

If you refer to my posts you will see that I have clearly differentiated between “applicable marine standards” and “ABYC marine standards”, for the specific reason that this is a global forum.

Wait a minute, weren’t you the one who just claimed others were attempting to derail the thread with posts about ABYC standards?

Re: Honda 2000 built in.

Asked and answered.

If you didn’t wish people to understand you meant “built in”, I suggest not using the term “built in”.
