DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
Please keep in mind that along with the fun of boating
comes responsibility. As the owner or operator of a plea-
sure boat, you are obligated (morally and legally) to use
good judgement while underway in providing for the safety
and well-being of your passengers and other boaters
around you.
A common and flagrant violation of good judgement and
the law by mariners involves the use of alcohol or drugs.
Each year, about half of all accidents involving fatalities
involve the use of alcohol or drugs.
It is a federal offense to operate a boat while intoxicated.
Criminal penalties may include the termination of operat-
ing privileges for up to one year. Many states have passed
similar laws.
Alcohol or drugs have an inhibiting effect on the judge-
ment and reaction time of the boat operator and his/her
passengers. Heed the advice of experts and statisti-
cians...DO NOT drink or use drugs when operating a boat.
NEVER allow an obviously intoxicated person to take the
helm.
Have fun in your Four Winns® boat but also, have the
good sense to be mentally alert and physically capable
of operating the boat in a safe manner.

Before leaving the dock, the following items should be
checked:
A. Before Starting The Engine
1. Check the weather forecast. Determine if the cruise
planned can be made safely.
2. Be sure all necessary safety equipment is on board
and operative. This includes items such as the run-
ning lights, horn, spotlight, life saving devices, etc.
3. Check the bilge water level and bilge pump opera-
tion. Check the engine and drive fluid levels. Look
for other signs of potential problems. Check for the

Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injury
or death. Before starting the engine, check
engine compartment bilge for gasoline or vapors.

operation. ALWAYS run the blower when the
vessel is operating below cruising speed.
5. Ensure an adequate amount of fuel is on board.

sions on board for the cruise planned.
7. Leave a written message listing details of the planned
cruise with a close friend ashore.
B. After Starting The Engine
1. Visibly check the engine to be sure there are no ap-
parent water or oil leaks.
2. Check the gauges. Make sure the oil pressure, wa-
ter temperature, voltmeter, etc. are reading normally.
3. Have a safe cruise and enjoy yourself.
