Make sure someone else on-board knows how to operate the boat in the event you are injured and
unable to operate the boat.
If you are operating the boat for the first time, make sure you follow the engine
manufacturer’s break-in recommendations. This will assure proper break-in and reduce
the possibility of engine problems.
7.2 Basic Rules of the Road
The following is not intended to be a comprehensive course in seamanship and rules of the road, but
instead an introduction. It is strongly recommended that a boating safety course be taken from your
local Coast Guard Auxiliary or local Department of Natural Resources. There are also many good
reference books in your local library as well as numerous sites on the internet.
Remember, paddle boats, sailboats and other vessels (such as barges) which are unable
to maneuver, always have the right of way over powerboats. Sail boats, when under
power, are considered motor boats. However, always boat defensively.
Aids to Navigation
Along the coast lines and in navigable inland waters, aids to navigation have been placed by the U.S.
Coast Guard. These have been placed for the boating public’s safety. Please become familiar with
them and learn to use them to make your boating safer and more fun.
