33
Operation Failure
If you experience a propulsion, steering or control failure, immediately turn
OFF
the engine . Try to determine the failure and repair, if qualified to do so . Otherwise,
call or signal for assistance .
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
Every waterway poses hazards that should be avoided . The following infor-
mation outlines some of the hazards which may be encountered .
Shallow Water Operation
Shallow water brings on obvious hazards such as sand bars, stumps, rocks, etc .
Know the area you will be operating the boat in . Hitting objects at high speeds
can cause severe damage to people and the boat . If you know you will be
navigating the boat in shallow water, post a lookout and proceed slowly .
Know the minimal depth your boat can safely travel .
Warning Markers
Learn to recognize the different buoys and day markers; they are used as the
signposts of the waterways identifying navigable routes and water hazards . It
is a good idea to ask local authorities about hazard areas and if they are
marked . Stay within boundaries and clear of hazards .
Weeds
Weeds can generally be a threat to a boat’s engine and other components on
the boat . If weeds wrap around the propeller, they can create vibration in the
engine . They also restrict water intake, causing the engine to overheat .
NOTICE
Weeds can sometimes be removed by shifting to NEUTRAL, pausing for a mo-
ment, then shifting to REVERSE to unwind the weeds from the propeller .
Dam Spillways
The area around dam spillways is very hazardous and conditions can change
rapidly . Stay clear of the spillways and areas below dams .
Restricted Areas
Before boating, check with Local, State, and Federal authorities to identify
restricted areas . Because of the threat of terrorism, the U .S . Coast Guard has and
will continue to implement strict limits on watercraft near U .S . Navy and Coast
Guard ships and other potential targets .
Weather/Seas
Learn and understand weather patterns and signs of change . Bad weather can
cause an uncomfortable and unsafe situation . If a storm approaches, seek a
safe harbor .
ENVIRONMENT
As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the peace of the great
outdoors . It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the natural environment by
keeping waterways clean .
DO NOT put anything in the water you would not
want to eat or drink!
