AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT
WITH PEOPLE IN THE WATER
ON TOP OR HOLDING ON TO
THE SWIM PLATFORM STRUCTURE.
WARNING
!
Most boaters
fi
sh from time to time.
With the propulsion systems of today
it is possible to
fi
sh in out-of-the-
way places. When crusing, stay clear
of
fi
sherman. They may have lines
or nets out which might be cut or
get caught in your propeller if you
come too close. Slow down when
approaching
fi
shing boats. Do not return to cruising speed
until the boats have been passed. If a
fi
shing boat should
be anchored, a large wake could
fl
ip or swamp the boat,
upset
fi
shing gear, pull the anchor loose from the bottom
or worse yet cause someone to fall overboard.
When
fi
shing from your boat, never anchor in a shipping
channel or tie up to any navigational aid. These must be
kept clear of at all times.
Be sure to carry a local chart of the area to back up your
plotter and be on the lookout for shallow water and hidden
obstructions. Many times local conditions change and there
is a time lag on the plotter chip until the next revision.
Pick up a tidal chart if appropriate so you do not end up
grounded.
WATER SPORTS
Besides learning the safety precautions for safe boating,
as well as understanding and knowing required rules and
regulations, you are obligated to be particularly careful
around other water sportsman, such as scuba divers, water
skiers, wake boarders, and
fi
sherman.
Whenever you see a “Diver Down”
fl
ag, maintain a distance of at least
100 feet on inland waters. In bays and
open waters stay 300 feet away. The
fl
ag indicates a diver in the water. If
a diver is operating from your boat,
be certain to use this
fl
ag and post a
lookout on board to observe the diver’s
air bubbles.
SWIM PLATFORM
On integrated or extended swim platforms you should
make periodic inspections of the swim ladder and hardware
that supports the platform to ensure that all connections
and
fi
ttings are tight and in good condition.
Use heed when operating the boat in reverse to insure that
water does not accumulate excessively on the platform
or transom, especially in rough seas or strong currents.
Do not exceed the platform recommended maximum
capacity label!
Typical
label shown.
Read and understand the
following warning label
regarding “teak sur
fi
ng.”
