7.3 SAFE OPERATION – OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
AND INSTRUCTIONS
7.3.1 Protection from falling overboard and means of
reboarding
The boat’s working decks are areas where people can
move about when the boat is being manoeuvred. These
decks are marked in orange in the picture below. Do
not sit, stand or spend time in other parts of the boat
while the boat is under way. Moving about on the after-
deck while the boat is under way is not recommended.
When moving about the foredeck, always wear a safety
harness and attach it to the points in the railing designed
for this purpose.
Before you get underway, make sure that the aft rails are
in the locked position. If someone falls overboard, the
easiest way to reboard is via the bathing/rescue ladder
on the stern. A person in the water can also deploy the
ladder (1). Keep the gates at the open space closed while
driving.
7.3.2 Securing loose equipment
Secure all heavy equipment (for example, anchors)
before getting underway. Pay attention to lightweight
items as well because they can be easily taken away by
wind. Keep all hatches closed when underway. No not let
loose equipment block the drain holes.
DANGER !
A rotating propeller can be lethal for a swimmer or
person who has fallen overboard. Use the dead man’s
switch and shut down the engine when a swimmer or
water skier climbs on board.
