NOTICE
• Water ski only in safe areas, away from other boats and swimmers, out of channels, and in water free of
underwater obstructions.
• Make sure that anyone who skis can swim. Do not allow people who cannot swim to water ski.
BE SURE THAT THE SKIER IS WEARING A PROPER LIFE JACKET. A WATER SKIER
IS CONSIDERED ON BOARD THE BOAT AND A COAST GUARD APPROVED LIFE JACKET
IS REQUIRED. IT IS ADVISABLE AND RECOMMENDED FOR A SKIER TO WEAR A FLO-
TATION DEVICE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF HITTING THE WATER
AT HIGH SPEED. WATER SKI ONLY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. ALWAYS CARRY A
SECOND PERSON ON BOARD TO OBSERVE THE SKIER SO THAT YOUR FULL ATTEN-
TION CAN BE GIVEN TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE BOAT.
• Approach a skier in the water from the downwind 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.
For additional information on water skiing, including hand signals and water skiing manuals, contact the
American Water Skiing Association in Winter Haven, Florida, 863-324-4341.

ERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS REMOVE AND PROPERLY STORE THE
LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
