NOTICE
• 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
