If part of your fuel supply system becomes detached it could cause fuel or fuel
vapours to leak, which could spread a fire or cause an explosion. To reduce the
risk of this happening outboard engines must be securely fitted. It's also worth
remembering that you are in danger of losing control of your boat if the engine
is not properly secured. [5.6]
