visibility.
• The operator should check direction of the rudder before
starting (in gear, slowly making sure the boat goes straight).
• The operator should be primarily aware of what is occurring
in front of the boat, but be aware of skier’s progress.
• Be sure to inspect the tow eye or watersports tow point
before use. If there is any evidence of corrosion or other
damage, do not use until it has been inspected by your
Correct Craft dealer.
• Be sure to wear wet suits or protective shorts when skiing to
prevent abrasions, hypothermia and injuries to orifices
(rectal and vaginal) from impact with a water surface.
• When people are getting on or off of water sports
equipment, always turn the engine off. If boarding water
sports equipment from the boat, always do so from the
boarding platform.
• Always inspect water sports equipment for wear, fraying, etc.,
before use. DO NOT use if they show signs of wear or
fraying.
• When approaching a skier, always turn the engine off before
allowing the skier to come onboard. This will keep a
propeller that is rotating under engine power from injuring
the skier.
• Be sure to approach a downed skier on the operator’s side,
keep the skier always in view.
• Display a skier down flag whenever the skier is in the water
and not skiing.
• Inspect towline for fraying, unnecessary knots or cuts.
Replace when the rope shows signs of wear. DO NOT wait
for the rope to break before replacing an old rope.
• Be sure to follow the approved towing pattern on each lake.
