BOATING SAFETY
1-9
Warning Markers
It is a good idea to ask local authorities if there are hazardous areas and
how they are marked. Boaters must also recognize the flag designs which
indicate that skin divers are present and keep well clear of the area.
Watch for swimmers. Swimming areas may not be marked. Steer clear
from the area and always remain alert.
Distress flags indicate a fellow boater is in need of
assistance.
Navigation markers serve as a means of identifying navi-
gable routes, and indicate water hazards. Boaters should
become familiar with navigation markers and stay within
marked boundaries and clear of hazards.
BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Federal and state laws prohibit operating a boat under the
influence of alcohol and other drugs. These regulations are
actively enforced. Impaired operation may result in severe per-
sonal injury or death.
Boating, alcohol and the use of other drugs just
doesn't mix. These substances reduce your reaction
time and affect your better judgment. Combined with
the sun, wind, waves, and noise of other watercraft,
the effects of drugs are increased and will signifi-
cantly reduce your reaction time. As the
owner/operator, you are responsible for the alco-
hol/drug use and on-board behavior of your passen-
gers.
NOTICE
If the operator’s blood alcohol content is 0.10% (0.08% in some
states) or above, violators are subject to a civil penalty up to
$1,000 or criminal penalty up to $5,000, one year imprisonment
or both. Operating a boat under the influence can also result in
a loss of motor vehicle driving privileges.
CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas produced by all
engines and fuel burning appliances. Even with the best boat design and
construction, plus the utmost care in inspection, operation, and mainte-
nance, hazardous levels of CO may still be present in accommodation
spaces under certain conditions. To reduce CO accumulation, always venti-
late the boat interior by opening the deck hatches, windows or canvas to
provide adequate ventilation.
