10.14 Man Overboard
If someone falls overboard, you must be prepared to react quickly, particularly when you are offshore. The
following procedures will help you in recovering a person that has fallen overboard.
• Immediately stop the boat and sound a man overboard alarm and have all passengers point to the person
in the water.
• Circle around quickly and throw a cushion or life jacket to the person, if possible, and another to use as
a marker.
• Keep the person on the driver side of the boat so you can keep him in sight at all times.
• Make sure to approach the person from the downwind side and maneuver the boat so the propellers are
well clear of the person in the water.
• Turn off the engines when the person is alongside and use a ring buoy or a boat cushion with a line attached,
a paddle or boathook to assist him to the boat. Make sure you don't hit him with the ring buoy or the boat.
• Pull the person to the boat and assist him on board.
• Check the person for injuries and administer first aid if necessary. If the injuries are serious, call for help.
Refer to the Safety Equipment chapter for more information on first aid and requesting emergency medical
assistance.
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS,
OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR SWIM LADDER
WHILE THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINES IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS
ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BEFORE
STARTING THE ENGINE(S).
10.15 Water Skiing
Your Pursuit could be equipped for water skiing. If you have never driven skiers before, you should spend
some hours as an observer and learn from an experienced driver. If you are an experienced driver, you should
take some time to become familiar with the boat and the way it handles before pulling a skier. The driver
should also know the skier’s ability and drive accordingly. The following safety precautions should be
observed while towing water skiers.
• Water ski only in safe areas, away from other boats and swimmers, out of channels, and in water free of
underwater obstructions.
