2270 CENTER CONSOLE
• Be sure that the skier is wearing a proper life jacket. A water skier is considered on board the
boat and a Coast Guard approved life jacket is required. It is advisable and recommended for
a skier to wear a flotation device designed to withstand the impact of hitting the water at high
speed.
• Always carry a second person on board to observe the skier so that your full attention can be
given to the safe operation of the boat.
• Approach a skier in the water from the downwind side and be certain to stop the motion of the
boat and your motor before coming in close proximity to the skier.
• Give immediate attention to a fallen skier. A fallen skier is very hard to see by other boats and
is extremely vulnerable. When a skier falls, be prepared to immediately turn the boat and return
to the skier. Never leave a fallen skier alone in the water for any reason.

8.7 Fishing
Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator when the action gets intense. You must
always be conscience of the fact that your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your boat
and the safety of your passengers and other boats in the area.
You must always make sure the helm is properly manned and is never left unattended while trolling.
If you are fishing in an area that is crowded with other fishing boats, it may be difficult to follow
the rules of the road. This situation can become especially difficult when most boats are trolling.
Being courteous and exercising good common sense is essential. Avoid trying to assert your right
of way and concentrate on staying clear and preventing tangled or cut lines and other unpleasant
encounters with other boats. Also keep in mind that fishing line wrapped around your propeller
shaft can damage the seals in the outboard lower unit.
