Vessel Operation
5-21
Shallow Water Operation
Operating your vessel in shallow water presents various hazards. You
are more apt to hit a submerged object such as a rock, sand bar, stump
coral, or other unmarked objects.
Pay close attention to your charts for descriptions of any shallow areas
along with marked submerged objects. Always post a lookout when
operating in shallow water. Trim your outdrive up as needed to provide
adequate draft. Set the alarm on your depth sounder and travel at a
speed that will keep the boat level in these shallow areas.
If your boat strikes a submerged object stop immediately and
check for hull, outboard drive and propeller damage.
