Section 1 Safety
Boat Load Capacities
The United States Coast Guard requires boats less
than 20 feet (6 m) to display a capacity plate that indi-
cates the maximum number of people and the maxi-
mum weight that the boat can support under normal
operating conditions. Additional capacity information
for your boat is listed in Section 6 of this manual.
• Do not exceed the capacity limits of this boat
under any circumstances
• Consider reducing these capacity limits during
emergencies, special operations, and severe
weather
• You are always responsible for the safety of the
boat and its crew even if the capacity limits have
not been exceeded
Capsizing
Your boat might capsize due to improper loading,
improper operation, or severe weather conditions.
Formulate a capsizing plan in advance that includes
the following actions:
• Try to turn off the outboard engines to avoid injury
and additional damage
• Locate all crew and evaluate their condition
• Stay with the boat, it should float and it is easier to
locate
• Distribute PFDs if possible
• Try to climb onto the hull
• Initiate emergency locating signal or radio com-
munication if possible
!
DANGER
Excessive loading, improper load distribution,
and mismatching loads to existing conditions
can contribute to boat swamping or capsizing.
These situations can result in serious injury or
death.
