12.6 Controls, Steering, or Propulsion System Failure
If the propulsion, control or steering system fails while you are operating the boat, bring both
throttles to idle and shift to neutral. Decide whether you need to put out the anchor to prevent
the boat from drifting or to hold the bow into the seas. Investigate and correct the problem if you
can. Turn the engines off before opening the engine cowling to make repairs. If you are unable
to correct the problem, call for help.
If only one engine has failed, you can usually run home on the other engine. Be careful not to
apply too much power to the engine that is running. When only one engine is used to power a
twin engine boat, that engine is over propped and can be overloaded if too much throttle is
applied. You should contact your dealer or the engine manufacturer for the maximum power
settings when running on one engine.
12.7 Collision
If your boat is involved in a collision with another boat, dock, piling or a sandbar, your first
priority is to check your passengers for injuries and administer first aid if necessary. Once your
passengers situations are stabilized, thoroughly inspect the boat for damage. Check below decks
for leaks and the control systems for proper operation. Plug all leaks or make the necessary
repairs to the control systems before proceeding slowly and carefully to port. Request assistance
if necessary. Haul the boat and make a thorough inspection of the hull and running gear for
damage.
12.8 Grounding, Towing and Rendering Assistance
The law requires the owner or operator of a vessel to render assistance to any individual or vessel
in distress, as long as his vessel is not endangered in the process.
If the boat should become disabled, or if another craft that is disabled requires assistance, great
care must be taken. The stress applied to a boat during towing may become excessive. Excessive
stress can damage the structure of the boat and create a safety hazard for those aboard.
Freeing a grounded vessel, or towing a boat that is disabled, requires specialized equipment and
knowledge. Line failure and structural damage caused by improper towing have resulted in fatal
injuries. Because of this, we strongly suggest that these activities be left to those who have the
equipment and knowledge, e.g., the U.S. Coast Guard or a commercial towing company, to safely
accomplish the towing task.
