  1. Turn off the engine and close all windows, ports, doors, and other openings

  2. Check the weather report

  3. Notify the Coast Guard

  4. Take a selfie

The correct answer is: Turn off the engine and close all windows, ports, doors, and other openings

Before fueling your boat, it is important to turn off the engine and close all windows, ports, doors, and other openings. This is to prevent any potential fuel vapors from escaping and potentially causing a fire or explosion. Option B is incorrect because checking the weather report is important but not necessarily related to fueling the boat. Option C is also incorrect because notifying the Coast Guard is only necessary in emergency situations or when legally required. Option D is incorrect because taking a selfie is not a necessary step before fueling a boat and can be dangerous and distracting.
