WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY
!
WARNING
Stop your engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is
near your boat. Serious injury to the person in the water is likely
if contacted by a rotating propeller, a moving boat, a moving
gearcase, or any solid device rigidly attached to a moving boat
or gearcase.
Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing
people to swim or be in the water near your boat.
Passenger Safety Message - Pontoon Boats And
Deck Boats
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all
passengers. Do not allow any passengers to stand or use seats
other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed. A
sudden reduction in boat speed, such as plunging into a large wave
or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp change of boat
direction, could throw them over the front of the boat. Falling over
the front of the boat between the two pontoons will position them
to be run over by the outboard.
BOATS HAVING AN OPEN FRONT DECK
No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the
boat is in motion. Keep all passengers behind the front fence or
enclosure.
Persons on the front deck could easily be thrown overboard or
persons dangling their feet over the front edge could get their legs
caught by a wave and pulled into the water.
