As you read this manual, please note the hazard
warnings which alert you to safety precautions
related to unsafe conditions or operating proce-
dures. We have included these warnings

No matter how much boating experience you have,
it’s always a good idea to review boating safety rules
before departures. Familiarize yourself with these
basic boating safety tips:
• Follow a Pre-Departure Checklist to prepare
yourself for any possibility on the water;
• Be weather-wise and always check local weath-
er conditions for boating safety before departure;
• Know the limitations of your boat;
• Keep a sharp lookout for people and objects in
the water;
• Never boat when the operator is under the influ-
ence of drugs or alcohol;
• Being aware of your passengers’ safety at all
times;
• Reduce speed when there is limited visibility,
rough water, nearby people in the water, boats,
or structures.
• Make proper use of life jackets by making sure
each passenger has a life jacket;
• Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron, or
equivalent boating safety course.
Call the
Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628 for
information on available courses;
and
• Get hands-on training on how to operate your
boat properly.
In addition:
• Maintain your boat and its safety and other sys-
tems as recommended in this manual.
• Have your boat inspected by a qualified
mechanic or dealer, at least annually.
• Ensure that the Coast Guard required safety
equipment is on board and functions properly.
