Review and train your self and your family in
safety, emergency and operating procedures.
Pay close attention to all highlighted safety
warnings, cautions and hazards, and remember
that along with the freedom and fun of a pow er-
boat, comes the responsibility for the safety of
your passenger s, other boater s and the en viron-
ment which w e all share. W e recommend that
you read the boating literature published b y your
state boating agency and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Other suggested reading can be found at the
end of this section.
Also, take the time to know your boat. Look it
over, walk around in it, locate the different com-
ponents, gauges, and operating equipment and
figure out how to use them before you go out on
the water. This familiarity allows for a much
safer and smoother boating experience.
