Skill/Experience
Practice your boat operating skills often in calm
water. Avoid windy conditions and rough water. Be
sure to maintain good visibility at all times. Do not
practice close to any obstructions such as piers,
bridges, swim areas or moored boats.
Proceed slowly and give yourself plenty of time to
react. Remember, your boat is not an automobile. It
requires additional time to maneuver and stop.
Visibility
Visibility is not only sight, but also hearing. It is very
important the operator maintains good visibility at
all times. Arrange passengers and equipment to
ensure you have unobstructed vision at all times.
Check for other boats or any obstacles before
turning the boat.
Drugs/Alcohol
Boating, alcohol and the use of other drugs just do
not mix. Mixing boating, alcohol and other drugs
results in many marine accidents and deaths.
These substances reduce your reaction time and
affect your better judgment. Combined with the sun,
wind, waves and noise of other watercraft, the
effects of drugs are increased and will significantly
reduce your reaction time. Do not operate your boat
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. As
the owner/operator, you are responsible for the
alcohol/drug use and onboard behavior of your
passengers.
If the operator’s blood alcohol content is above the
state’s legal limit, violators are subject to a civil or
criminal penalty, imprisonment or both. Operating a
boat under the influence can also result in a loss of
automobile driving privileges.
Passengers
Whenever you are going for an outing, make sure
that at least one passenger is familiar with the
operation and safety aspects of the boat in case of
emergency. Show all passengers the location of
emergency equipment and explain how to use it.
Do not allow passengers to drag their feet or hands
in the water, or sit on the bow, deck, gunwale or
transom platform while engines are running.
Ventilation
Your Cobalt boat may be equipped with carbon
monoxide (CO) detector(s), if your boat is a cabin
type or built with an enclosed changing area.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury or death from drowning.
Wear your Personal Flotation Device and
remain seated when operating the boat.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury or death. Maintain clear
visibility at all times. If necessary,
arrange passengers and equipment.
Designate a passenger to assist when
visibility is limited due to operating
conditions.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury or death from impaired
operation. Federal and state law prohibit
operating a boat under the influence of
alcohol and other drugs. These
regulations are actively enforced.
