2021 OWNER’S MANUAL | Safety 

    

13

will be best prepared to avoid these hazards if you are familiar 

with the waterway where you are boating.  Whenever possible 

familiarize yourself with navigation charts, depth charts, 

and waterway maps before you go boating.  The following 

information outlines some of the most common hazards which 

may be encountered: 

Shallow Water Operation

 

Shallow water brings on obvious hazards such as sand bars, 

stumps, rocks, etc.  Know the area in which you will be oper-

ating the boat.  Grounding the vessel or striking submerged 

objects can result in serious injury or death and can cause 

severe damage to your watercraft.  At high speed, this can 

cause rapid deceleration or stop your boat abruptly, which 

may cause occupants to impact the interior of the boat or be 

ejected. Stick to deeper water whenever possible, and if you 

must travel in shallow water, proceed at low speed and post 

a lookout.  

Know the minimal depth your boat can safely travel.  

Warning Markers 

Learn to recognize the different buoys and day markers; 

they are used as the signposts of the waterways identifying 

navigable routes and water hazards.  It is a good idea to ask 

local authorities about hazard areas and if they are marked.  

Stay within boundaries and clear of hazards.  

Weeds 

Weeds can generally be a threat to a boat’s engine and 

other components on the boat.  If weeds wrap around the 

propeller, they can create vibration in the engine.  They also 

can restrict water intakes or clog the water filter, causing the 

engine to overheat.  Learn to recognize the typical normal 

operating temperature range for your engine.  If tempera-

ture rises high above normal, then check for blockage of the 

engine cooling water system.  

Dam Spillways

 

The area around dam spillways is very hazardous and con-

ditions can change rapidly.  Keep clear of the spillways and 

areas below dams.  Currents created by spillways can draw in 

objects, including your boat. 

Restricted Areas 

Before boating, check with local, state, and federal author-

ities to identify restricted areas.  Because of the threat of 

terrorism, the USCG has and will continue to implement strict 

limits on watercraft near U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships and 

other potential targets. 

Weather/Seas 

Learn and understand weather patterns and signs of 

change.  Bad weather can cause an uncomfortable and unsafe 

situation.  If a storm approaches, seek a safe harbor.  Check 

forecasts before getting underway and continue to monitor 

conditions while on the water. 

Environmental Concerns 

As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the 

peace of the great outdoors.  It is a boater’s responsibility to 

protect the natural environment by keeping waterways clean.  

Foreign Species 

If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you have the 

potential of unknowingly introducing a foreign aquatic spe-

cies from one lake to the next.  It is important to thoroughly 

clean the bottom of the boat below the water line, remove all 

weeds and algae, and drain the bilge, ballast, and livewells be-

fore launching the boat in a new body of water.  Check local, 

state, country agencies as to laws and regulations.  

Fuel/Oil Spillage 

The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates 

the environment and is dangerous to wildlife.  

DO NOT EVER

 

discharge or dispose of fuel, oil, or other chemicals into the 

water; it is prohibited and can result in fines.  These are three 

common, accidental types of discharge: 

•  During initial fueling of a nearly empty tank 

•  Overfilling the fuel tanks 

•  Pumping contaminated bilge water 

Discharge/Disposal of Waste 

Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, 

food, wood, detergents, sewerage, and even fish parts in 

certain waters—in short, nearly everything.  We recommend 

you bring back everything you take out with you for proper 

disposal ashore. 

Excessive Noise 

Noise means engine noise, radio noise, loud conversation, 

or even yelling.  Many bodies of water have adopted noise 

limits.  Noise can carry a considerable distance on water, 

especially at night.  Be sure to follow regulations and be 

courteous.  

Speed/Wake/Wash 

Be alert for 

NO WAKE

 zones.  You are responsible for any 

damage or injury caused by your wake/wash.  Prior to enter-

ing a 

NO WAKE

 zone, reduce throttle, come off plane to the 

slowest steerable speed.  Use caution when operating around 

smaller crafts, in channels and marinas, and in congested 

areas.

NOTICE

Weeds can sometimes be removed by shifting to NEUTRAL, pausing 

for a moment, then shifting to REVERSE to unwind the weeds from 

the propeller.

!

WARNING

Fumes from rags can collect in the bilge and pose an extremely 

hazardous fire and explosion risk, which can result in injury or death. 

Never store rags used to wipe up fuel or solvent spills in the boat. 

Dispose of rags properly ashore.
