GENERAL INFORMATION
13
Direct all inquiries to the Boating Hotline, 1‑800‑368‑5647 or the
Boat U.S. Foundation information number 1‑800‑336‑BOAT.
We strongly recommend that all powerboat operators attend one
of these courses.
Make sure everyone in the boat is properly seated. Do not allow
anyone to sit or ride on any part of the boat that was not intended
for such use. This includes the back of seats, gunwales, transom,
bow, decks, raised fishing seats, any rotating fishing seat; or
anywhere that an unexpected acceleration, sudden stopping,
unexpected loss of boat control, or sudden boat movement could
cause a person to be injured or thrown overboard.
Never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while boating (it
is the law). Alcohol or drug use impairs your judgment and greatly
reduces your ability to react quickly.
Know your boating area and avoid hazards.
Prepare other boat operators. Train at least one other person on
board in boat operation and handling in case the driver becomes
disabled or falls overboard.
Passenger boarding. Stop the engine whenever passengers are
boarding, unloading, or are near the back (stern) of the boat. Just
shifting the power package into neutral is not sufficient.
Be alert. The operator of the boat is responsible by law to maintain
a proper lookout by sight and hearing. The operator must have an
unobstructed view particularly to the front. No passengers, load,
or fishing seats should block the operators view when operating
the boat.
Never follow behind a water skier. As an example, your boat
traveling at 40 km/h (25 MPH) will overtake a fallen skier
61 m (200 ft.) in front of you in five seconds.
Watch for fallen skiers. When using your boat for water skiing or
similar activities, always keep a fallen or downed skier on the
operator's side of the boat while returning to assist the skier. The
operator should always have the downed skier in sight and never
back up to the skier or anyone in the water.
