3 BOATING SAFETY
Like a car, boats must be operated according to safety rules and traffic regulations.
Although we include some basic boating tips in this manual, a thorough review of the safety
rules and regulations for boating is beyond the scope of this manual.
The local US Coast Guard Auxiliary and the US Power Squadrons offer comprehensive
safe boating classes several times per year. You can contact the Boat/US Foundation at
(800) 336-2628 for a course schedule. You can also contact the US Coast Guard Auxiliary
or Power Squadron Flotilla for the time and place of the next scheduled class in your area.
For online information, visit:

The Coast Guard also publishes several other helpful pamphlets, including the Boating
Safety Training Manual, Federal Requirements for Recreational Boats and Aids to
Navigation (US Coast Guard pamphlet #123), which explain the significance of various
lights and buoys.
IMPORTANT: Coast Guard regulations and information change periodically. Prior to
operating any vessel, you should always be aware of the most recent publications, notice
and regulations then in effect.
3.1 Safey Awareness
The Jones Brothers Marine owner's manual uses five levels of advisory and hazard
statements to alert you to special information, operating procedures or safety precautions.
All statements begin with a signal word or symbol to identify the importance of the
statement. The statement levels in the following Advisory and Hazard sections follow this
order in increasing importance.
3.1.1 Advisory
Advisory statements signal conditions that effect equipment operation, maintenance and
servicing practices and occur in two levels:
Level 1 - NOTE
Signals a general advisory statement that clarifies or highlights a particular section of text.
Level 2 - IMPORTANT
Used to signal the possibility of damage to equipment or associated components.
3.1.2 Hazard
The use of hazard statements is determined by the likely consequence of the warning with
regard to severity (minor injury, severe injury, death), and the probability of severity
(COULD result in, WILL result in). Not following the recommendations contained in any of
these statements may result in personal injury.
