General Considerations
• Know how your boat handles under different
conditions. Recognize your limitations and the
boat’s limitations. Modify speed in keeping
with weather, sea and traffi c conditions.
• Instruct passengers on location and use of
safety equipment and procedures.
• Instruct passengers on the fundamentals of
operating your boat in case you are unable to
do so.
• You are responsible for passenger’s actions. If
they place themselves or the boat in danger,
immediately correct them.
• Remember the “Rule of Thirds”: one third
total fuel usage for the trip out; one third total
fuel sage while out; one third total fuel usage
for the return trip.
Maintain Control
High performance boats require intimate knowledge
of their handling characteristics for safe high speed
operation.
• Learn the effects of trim, steering and
throttle changes at gradually increasing levels
of speed.
• Approach full throttle while adjusting trim for
safe handling of the vessel.
On the water there are no marked traffi c lanes, no
traffi c signs or lights, and boats have no turn signals.
The boat operator must keep her or his attention
focused not only on what’s ahead but what’s on the
left, right and behind the boat.
The operator must always be alert to approaching
boats (from the rear, right and left sides, as well
as those ahead). There can be people in the water,
partially submerged debris, and other navigational
hazards such as rocks, sand bars or dangerous
currents, to name a few.
Your passengers are relying on you to operate and
maneuver the boat safely so that they are not in
danger of going overboard. If you turn too quickly,
Boarding
• Board only one person at a time.
• Never jump into boat.Step or climb into
cockpit.
• Load gear after you are aboard. Carrying
gear while boarding can cause you to lose
balance.
• Distribute weight evenly.
• Instruct passengers where to sit during
on-plane operation to reduce the
possibility of falling overboard during high
speed maneuvers.
• If gear is not immediately needed, stow it in
secure areas.
• Safety gear must be immediately
accessible at all times.
The detrimental effects of alcohol and drugs are
increased by wind, waves and sun, and will decrease
your response time and ability to act in critical
situations. Give special attention to the effects of
alcohol and drugs while boating. No other single
factor causes as many marine accidents and deaths.
Death or serious injury and damage to personal and
private property can result from being impaired while
operating a boat.
Impaired Operation
CONTROL HAZARD-Federal laws prohibit
operating a boat while under the infl uence of
alcohol or drugs. These laws are vigorously
enforced.
!
WARNING
increase or decrease speed abruptly, your passengers
are at risk of being thrown overboard or thrown about
the boat.
When visibility becomes impaired because of
weather, time of day or high bow angle you must
slow down so that you have suffi cient time to react
if an emergency occurs. Nearby boats face similar
risks in avoiding a collision with you.
