CHECK FOR THE SKIER’S OK SIGNAL IMMEDIATELY.
• TURN OFF MOTOR BEFORE GETTING CLOSE TO A
DOWNED SKIER.
• DO NOT SKI AT NIGHT OR IN CROWDED WATERS.
• NEVER BACK UP TO THE SKIER OR ANYONE IN THE
WATER.
To connect the water ski tow rope, use a bridle (available at your dealer)
which connects to both rear tie-down eyes on the transom or connect to
the ski eye if your boat is equipped with one. The bridle should be long
enough to not hinder engine tilt ability, but not so long that it could get
caught in the propeller.
The boat should start at slow speed until the tow rope is taut. Check that the
way ahead is clear and apply enough power to raise the skier. When the skier
is up and signals the OK, adjust speed according to the skiers hand signals.
A boat operator should never drive his boat directly behind a water skier.
At 25 mph the boat will overtake a fallen skier who was 200 feet in front in
five seconds.
When a skier falls, watch for the OK signal. Circle around to get the tow line
to the skier for getting up again or boarding the boat. Approach the skier
with the right side of the boat and help the skier board from the stern. Pull
in the tow line and retrieve the skis.
