Section 1
The operator shall:
• Follow safe operating practices, the “Rules of the Road”, and
the Watersports Responsibility Code.
• Not operate a boat if under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs.
• Attach the emergency cutoff switch lanyard to his person
when operating the boat.
• Maintain a proper course and safe speed at all times to avoid
collisions.
• Maintain a lookout for other boats, swimmers and
obstructions in the water.
• Operate slowly in congested areas such as marinas and
mooring areas.
• Keep a safe distance from other boats, swimmers, personal
watercraft, docks, and fixed objects.
• Look before you turn/maneuver the boat so as to avoid
potential collisions with oncoming or overtaking vessels.
• Be aware that this boat is a high-performance boat and is
capable of quick, tight turns and changes in direction.
Familiarize yourself with the handling characteristics of the
boat. It is the operator’s responsibility to operate the boat in
a manner that ensures the safety of all passengers. Abrupt
maneuvers may result in the ejection of unsecured,
unseated, or improperly positioned passengers. Verbally
warn passengers before making quick, tight turns so they
may have time to grasp a handrail, hand-hold, or portion of
the boat.
• Be aware that your boat will handle differently depending on
loading and on-board weight distribution.
• Ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated
in appropriate seating locations to avoid falling or falling
overboard.
• Instruct and ensure that passengers remain properly seated
at all times while the boat is in motion above idle speed.
• Not allow passengers to sit on the transom, seat backs,
engine cover or sides of the boat while the engine is running
and the boat is in motion to avoid falling overboard.
• Not allow passengers to sit in a position that obstructs the
operator’s view.
