Swamping and Flooding
In the event that the vessel begins to take on water, turn on the bilge pump to evacuate water and slow its
accumulation, and try to determine the source of the water. A collision with an underwater object can cause the
hull to develop a leak. A loose fitting hose clamp on a piece of equipment can cause a leak. Try to repair the leak
if possible. If a leak is threatening the safety of you and your passengers, call or signal for assistance.
• Turn on bilge pump(s).
• Access PFDs, pass them out to everyone, and put them on.
• Identify source of leak and try to stop the leak and flooding.
• STAY WITH THE BOAT!
A boat will usually float even if there is major hull damage. Rescuers can spot a boat
much easier than a head bobbing in the water.
• Signal or call for help.
• If others were on board, try to locate them, make sure that they are conscious and that they can swim.
• Immersion in water speeds the loss of body heat and can lead to hypothermia (the abnormal lowering of
internal body temperature).
Capsizing
• If others were on board, try to locate them, make sure that they are conscious and they can swim.
• If possible, access life jackets (PFDs), pass them out to everyone, and put them on.

• Immersion in water speeds the loss of body heat and can lead to hypothermia (the abnormal lowering of

Staying Afloat
• Remain calm. Do not thrash about or try to remove clothing or footwear. This leads to exhaustion and
increases the loss of air that may keep you afloat.
• Keep your life jacket (PFD) on.
• Keep your knees bent.
• Float on your back and paddle slowly to safety.
Collisions
• Immediately account for all passengers.
• Check for injuries.
• If any person is in the water make sure they have proper flotation devices.
• Assess the hull for damage.
• Activate the bilge pump(s) to reduce any flooding.
• Try to operate the boat to keep the damaged area above water.
• If necessary, call or signal for assistance.
• STAY WITH THE BOAT!
