SAFE boating means:
• knowing the limitations of your boat
• following the "Rules of the Road"
• keeping a sharp lookout for people and objects
in the water
• not boating in water or weather conditions
that are beyond the boat's and the operator's
capability
• never boating when the operator is under the
influence of drugs or alcohol
• Being aware of your passenger's safety at all
times
• Reducing speed when there is limited visibility,
rough water, and nearby people in the water,
boats, or structures
Boating in beautiful weather and calm water
conditions can be a wonderful experience.
Pleasurable boating, however, requires considerably
greater skills than operating a land vehicle. To
obtain these skills, you must:
• Take a Coast guard, U.s. Power squadron,
or equivalent boating safety course. Call the
Boat/U.s. foundation at 1-800-336-2628 for
information on available courses.
• get hands-on training on how to operate your
boat properly.
In addition:
• Maintain your boat and its safety and other
systems as recommended in this manual.
• Have the boat inspected by a qualified mechanic
or dealer at least annually.
• Ensure that the Coast guard required safety
equipment is on board and functions properly.
(see page 1.2)
• Operating a high performance boat such as
a Baja requires different skills than operating
other boats. Make sure you have the necessary
skills, and if you are unsure ask your dealer for
a demonstration.

throughout the boat. This safety information
advises the owner/operator and passengers of
safety precautions to follow when operating and/or
servicing equipment.

types of labels are:

if the warning is ignored.
