abrupt stops may result in injury. Debris
may also be picked up and be thrown
rearward by the jet pump onto people or
property.
Do not use the boat's reverse, to stop.
You or your passenger (s) could be vio-
lently ejected forward or even off the
boat onto the hazard.

Always keep in mind that as the throttle
lever is returned to idle position, less di-
rectional control is available, and when
the engine is OFF, directional control is
lost. You need throttle to steer.
Do not overload the boat or take on more
passengers than designated for the par-
ticular boat. Overloading can affect ma-
neuverability, stability and performance.
Avoid adding on accessories or equip-
ment which may alter your control of the
boat.
Riding with a passenger (s) or pulling a
tube, skier or wakeboarder makes the
boat handle differently and requires
greater skill.
Always respect the safety and comfort of
your passenger (s) and person being
towed on skis, wakeboard or other
towables.
Always carry an observer when pulling a
tube, skier or wakeboarder, proceed with
only as much speed as required and fol-
low the observer's instructions. Unless
absolutely necessary, do not make tight,
sharp turns. Keep a safe distance from
the docks, other swimmers, craft or
objects.
Use a tow rope of sufficient length and
size and make sure it is adequately se-
cured to your boat. Some boats are
equipped or can be fitted with a specially
designed towing mechanism. It can be-
come a hazard should someone fall on it.

Before getting underway, show all pas-
sengers where emergency and safety
equipment is stowed, and explain how to
use it. Everyone aboard should wear
rubber-soled shoes which resist slipping
on wet surfaces. While underway, pas-
sengers should remain seated inside the
deck rails. Don't allow passengers to
drag their feet or hands in the water. Al-
ways use hand holds and other safety
hardware to prevent falls. All non--
swimmers, poor swimmers, and children
should wear a PFD at all times. Federal
regulations require that children under
13 years of age wear a PFD when the
boat is underway unless they are in an
enclosed cabin or below deck.
Do not start or operate the boat if anyone
is seated on the sun deck or swim plat-
form, or is nearby in the water. Water
and/or debris exiting jet thrust nozzle can
cause severe injury.
The operator and passenger (s) should
be properly seated before starting or
moving the boat. All passenger(s) should
be instructed to use the hand holds or
seat straps provided.
When accelerating a boat with a passen-
ger (s), whether from a complete stop or
while underway, always do so progres-
sively. Fast acceleration may cause your
passenger(s) to lose their balance or grip
and strike something in the boat or fall
out of the boat. Make sure that your pas-
senger(s) know of, or anticipate, any rap-
id acceleration.

As a boat operator, you should be famili-
ar with basic first aid procedures that
may be needed while you are far from
help. Fish hook accidents or minor cuts
and abrasions may be the most serious
mishaps on board a boat, but you should
also learn the proper procedures and be
ready to deal with the truly serious prob-
lems
like excessive bleeding,
