Boating Safety 1-5
• Not operate the engine in a confined space or while tethered to another vessel as
CARBON MONOXIDE will be around the boats.
• Not go under the boat cover with the engine running or shortly after the engine has
been running because CARBON MONOXIDE may remain under the cover. Remove
cover to ventilate the area.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in severe injury
or death to you and/or others.
The operator shall:
• Follow safe operating practices, the “Rules of the Road”, and the Watersports
Responsibility Code.
• Not operate a boat if under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
• Attach the emergency cutoff switch lanyard to themself when operating the boat.
• Maintain a proper course and safe speed at all times to avoid collisions.
• Maintain a lookout for other boats, swimmers and obstructions in the water.
• Operate slowly in congested areas such as marinas and mooring areas.
• Keep a safe distance from other boats, swimmers, personal watercraft, docks, and
fixed objects.
• Look before you turn/maneuver the boat so as to avoid potential collisions with
oncoming or overtaking vessels.
• Be aware that this boat is a high-performance boat and is capable of quick, tight turns
and changes in direction. Familiarize yourself with the handling characteristics of the
boat. It is the operator’s responsibility to operate the boat in a manner that ensures the
safety of all passengers. Abrupt maneuvers may result in the ejection of unsecured,
unseated, or improperly positioned passengers. Verbally warn passengers before
making quick, tight turns so they may have time to grasp a handrail, hand-hold, or
portion of the boat.
• Be aware that your boat will handle differently depending on loading and on-board
weight distribution.
• Ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated in appropriate seating
locations to avoid falling or falling overboard.
• Instruct and ensure that passengers remain properly seated at all times while the boat
is in motion above idle speed.
• Not allow passengers to sit on the transom, seat backs, engine cover or sides of the
boat while the engine is running and the boat is in motion to avoid falling overboard.
• Not allow passengers to sit in a position that obstructs the operator’s view.
• NEVER leave children unattended and in the boat without adult supervision.
• Have children riding in the bow of the boat be accompanied by an adult in the bow
and ensure that all remain seated when the boat is in motion.
• Not let passengers occupy seats which may be in the path of the tow line.
• Slow down when crossing waves or wakes in order to minimize the impact on
passengers and the boat. Crossing waves or wakes at an angle (such as 45 degrees)
rather than perpendicularly will reduce the severity of the impact. Avoid rough
water, large waves and large wakes from other boats when at high speed. Jumping
waves/wakes or slamming the bow will cause large vertical impacts which may
cause injury to occupants or cause ejections.
