Operation
• Always make sure to slowly pull the slack out of
the ski rope and wait for the OK from the skier
before advancing the throttle to ensure the
rope is not wrapped around the skier and that
the skier is ready. Never advance the throttle
until the skier provides the ready signal.
• When turning around to pick up a fallen skier,
make sure to look for other boat traffic in the
direction of the turn before you turn the boat.
• Approach a skier in the water from the down-
wind side and be certain to stop the motion
of the boat and your motor before coming in
close proximity to the skier.
• Give immediate attention to a fallen skier. A
fallen skier is very hard to see by other boats
and is extremely vulnerable. When a skier
falls, be prepared to immediately turn the boat
and return to the skier.
• Never leave a fallen skier alone in the water
for any reason and have an observer display
a skier down flag to alert other boaters that
your skier has fallen.
• Agree on hand signals to be used between the
observer and skier to communicate. This is
important to eliminate confusion and ensure
the safety of your skiers, wakeboarders or
tubers. Refer the Hand Signals drawing in this
section for signals that are commonly used
during water sports activities.
• Make sure the observer watches for the skier’s
signal to indicate he or she is OK. If the signal
is not seen immediately, assume the skier is
injured and in need of immediate assistance.
Be prepared to respond quickly.
• For additional information on water skiing, in-
cluding hand signals and water skiing manuals,
contact the American Water Skiing Association
in Winter Haven, Florida, 813-324-4341.
WARNING
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE
DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS, OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT
USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR SWIM LADDER WHILE THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINE IF DIVERS, SWIMMERS
OR SKIERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS PROPERLY
STORE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
2.12 Wake/Teak Surfing
Wake or Teak Surfing is a new and dangerous
boating fad that involves an individual holding
on to the swim platform of a vessel while a wake
builds up then lets go to body surf the wave cre-
ated by the boat; hence the term- “Wake Surfing.”
This activity puts that individual directly in the
path of the boat’s exhaust and poisonous carbon
monoxide. Because of the multiple dangers asso-
ciated with wake surfing and the carbon monoxide
problem in particular, the Coast Guard has issued
a safety alert that strongly advises the public not
to engage in wake surfing and warns that the
activity may cause carbon monoxide poisoning
and even fatalities.
Wake surfing not only exposes an individual to
potentially fatal concentrations of carbon mon-
oxide from the engine exhaust, it exposes them
unnecessarily and dangerously to the boat’s
propeller. The danger is compounded by the fact
that individuals do not usually wear a life jacket
when wake surfing.
Wake surfing is an extremely dangerous activity
and you should never allow anyone to “Wake Surf”
behind your boat or be in the water near the ladder
or swim platform while the engine is operating.
WARNING
WAKE OR TEAK SURFING (HOLDING ONTO THE SWIM PLATFORM
WHILE BOAT IS UNDERWAY) IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND
CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. WAKE SURFING
PUTS AN INDIVIDUAL DIRECTLY THE PATH OF THE BOAT’S
EXHAUST AND EXPOSES THEM TO POISONOUS LEVELS OF
CARBON MONOXIDE. IT ALSO EXPOSES AN INDIVIDUAL TO
THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING THROWN INTO THE PROPELLERS.
YOU SHOULD NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO WAKE SURF BEHIND
YOUR BOAT OR TO BE IN THE WATER NEAR THE LADDER OR
SWIM PLATFORM WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
2.13 Man Overboard
If someone falls overboard, you must be pre-
pared to react quickly, particularly when you are
offshore. The following procedures will help you
in recovering a person that has fallen overboard.
• Immediately stop the boat and sound a man
overboard alarm. Have all passengers point
to the person in the water.
• Circle around quickly and throw a cushion or
life jacket to the person, if possible, and an
-
other to use as a marker.
