Boating Safety
Boating safety is your responsibility. You must fully understand the
operating procedures and safety precautions in the Owner’s Information
kit and this owner’s guide before you operate your new boat. Safe boating
is no accident.
Safe Operation
Safe operation includes, but is not limited to, the following.
• Keep your boat and equipment in safe operating condition. Inspect the
hull, engines, safety equipment, and all boating gear regularly.
Note:
Federal law requires you to provide and maintain safety equipment on your
boat. Consult U.S. Coast Guard, state, and local regulations to ensure your
boat has all required safety equipment onboard. Additional equipment may
be recommended for your safety and that of your passengers. Make yourself
aware of its availability and use.
• Be very careful when fueling your boat. Be sure you know the capacity
of your boat’s fuel tank and the amount of fuel used when operating at
frequently used engine speeds (RPMs).
• Make sure you have enough fuel onboard for anticipated cruising
requirements. In general, use 1/3 of your supply to reach your
destination and use 1/3 to return. Keep1/3 in reserve for changes in
your plans due to weather or other circumstances.
• Be sure fire extinguishing and lifesaving equipment is onboard.
This equipment must meet regulatory standards, and it should
be noticeable, accessible and in proper operating condition. Your
passengers should know where this equipment is and how to use it.
• Keep an eye on the weather. Be aware of possible changing
conditions by checking local weather reports before your departure.
Monitor strong winds and electrical storms.
• Always keep accurate, updated charts of the area you are cruising
and back up charts if you use a chart plotter.
• Before you leave the port or harbor, file a Float Plan with a family
member, relative, friend, or other responsible person ashore.
• Always operate your boat with care, courtesy and common sense.
• Instruct at least one passenger onboard in the basic operation of your
boat. This person can take over if you unexpectedly become unable to
do so.
• Do not allow passengers to ride on parts of your boat other than
designated seating areas.
• Ask all passengers to remain seated while the boat is in motion.
• Do not use the boarding platform or boarding ladder while either or
both of the engines are running.
• Understand and obey the “Rules of the Road.” Always maintain
complete control of your boat.
• Do not overload or improperly load your boat.
• Do not travel faster than conditions warrant or beyond your abilities.
• Do not operate your boat in weather or sea conditions beyond your
skill and experience.
• Do not operate your boat while under the influence of drugs and/or
alcohol.
• Do not operate your boat if your visibility is impaired.
