In the event of collisions and leaking:
• slow down or stop to reduce water intake, unless
maintaining speed will keep the hole above water.
• switch on bilge pump.
• Operate manual bilge pump, if the powered bilge
pump can't handle the water flow.
• account for everyone on board and check for
injuries.
• have everyone put on PfDs.
• stay with the boat.
• signal for help.
• If a leak patch is attempted, it should be done from
the outside.
• In the event of a collision, you are required to file an
accident report. Contact a state enforcement agency
or the nearest Coast Guard office. If you are boating
outside of U.s. waters, consult the nation you are
visiting for accident reporting requirements.

In the event of running aground:
• Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop the intake
of water before attempting to get the boat free.
• Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion and
steering systems.
• Determine if the tide, wind and current will drive the
boat harder aground or will help to free it.
• Determine the water depth all around the boat,
and the type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.). If
it can be done without exposing persons to a risk
of injury, the boat should be moved away from
hard obstructions, and toward open water with soft
ground.
• Do not attempt to have your boat towed by other than
a trained and competent service, such as the Coast
guard or a salvage company. Recreational craft are
not designed to tow other recreational craft.
