Rules of the Road
Know and use the rules of the road. The information here is only a brief overview.
Contact the USCG for detailed information.
Audible warning signals:
* One short horn blast: starboard course change.
* Two short horn blasts: port course change.
* Three short horn blasts: astern operation.
* Five horn blasts: doubt about previous signal, or danger.
* One Five second horn blast every minute: for fog operation
When overtaking, give-way vessel announces intention with horn blast(s) and waits for a
response then completes maneuver.
When approaching head-on, both boats give way after giving appropriate horn blast(s)
(preferably to starboard).
When crossing, a vessel converging from starboard has the right-of-way. Port vessel
gives way (both acknowledge with one short horn blast).
Know and observe navigational buoys and markers.

forced to operate your Pro-Line in storm conditions:
*

* Stow loose gear and equipment.
* Place heavy items as low as possible.

* If power fails, anchor or rig a sea anchor off the bow (an empty ice chest in a
pinch).
* Stay with the boat if it capsizes unless it is burning out of control.

Fire
Be aware of and avoid conditions that can lead to accidental fire. Guard against and
watch for fuel spills and leaks. Inspect wiring for damage or exposure that could lead to
short circuits or arcing. Make sure those who smoke are careful to avoid accidental fire
ignition. Do not allow smoking while fueling. Keep a USCG approved fire extinguisher
on board at all times. Inspect the fire extinguisher regularly and learn how to properly
use it (instruct others as well). Use water to fight a fire as a last resort after making
