Boarding
When boarding the boat, always step in. Do not
jump. Avoid stepping on fiberglass or other
potentially slippery surfaces. Board one person at
a time.
Do not board the boat while carrying gear. Set the
gear on the dock, board the boat and then pick up
the gear.
Loading
Do not overload your boat. The performance of
your boat is dependent on load weight and
distribution. Passengers should distribute
themselves to maintain trim. Remember to
distribute weight from right to left, and also from
front to back.
●
Avoid excess weight in the bow or stern.
●
Securely stow all extra gear in stowage areas
to prevent load shifting. Do not stow gear on
top of safety equipment; safety equipment must
be quickly accessible.
●
In adverse weather, reduce the load in the
boat. People/load capacity ratings are based
upon normal boating conditions.
●
Do not use the drive units as a boarding ramp,
use the boarding ladder. To prevent injury,
make sure the engines are OFF when
swimmers, drivers and skiers are boarding.
Overloading of passengers, personal equipment
and supplies could result in an accident,
especially in rough waters. Maintain a balanced
load at all times.
Shipshape
Keep the weight distributed evenly. Store all gear
in secure areas. Safety equipment must be
immediately accessible at all times.
!
WARNING
All passengers should be carefully seated
while the boat is moving. Do not seat on
the bow, bow pulpit, deck, gunwale or two
stern sundeck pads when the boat is
moving.
GETTING UNDERWAY
There are many things to consider to make your
boating trip safe and enjoyable. You are
responsible for the safety of all passengers, the
boat and any damage the boat or its wake may
cause. Keep passengers from blocking your view
so that you do not run into other boats, swimmers,
water skiers, personal water vehicles or aids to
navigation.
