boating.
Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.
Passenger boarding.
•
Stop the engine whenever passengers are boarding, unloading, or are
near the back (stern) of the boat. Shifting the drive unit into neutral is not
sufficient.
Use personal flotation devices.
•
Federal law requires that there be a U.S. Coast Guard‑approved life
jacket (personal flotation device), correctly sized and readily accessible
for every person onboard, plus a throwable cushion or ring. We strongly
advise that everyone wear a life jacket at all times while in the boat.
Prepare other boat operators.
•
Instruct at least one person onboard in the basics of starting and
operating the engine and boat handling in case the driver becomes
disabled or falls overboard.
Do not overload your boat.
•
Most boats are rated and certified for maximum load (weight) capacities
(refer to your boat's capacity plate). Know your boat's operating and
loading limitations. Know if your boat will float if it is full of water. When in
doubt, contact your authorized Mercury Marine dealer or the boat
manufacturer.
Ensure that everyone in the boat is properly seated.
