DANGER
be violent enough to throw the operator and/or
passengers from the boat.
Always keep your hand on the throttle when op-
erating your boat at high speeds and never try
to drive a boat through a chine walk. If you feel
the boat begin to rock from to side, slow down
immediately. The only way to eliminate chine
walking is to reduce power and slow down. The
problem can then be corrected by adjusting the
engine trim and/or height. Remember that boat
wakes or other water conditions can cause the
hull to begin chine walking while operating at high
speed. Always be vigilant, look far ahead of the
boat and be ready to slow down if you see or an-
ticipate conditions that may induce chine walking.
CHINE WALKING CAN CAUSE LOSE OF CONTROL RESULTING
IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS AND DAMAGE
TO THE BOAT. THE OPERATOR SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE
EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH LANYARD ATTACHED TO A BELT
LOOP, KEEP ONE HAND ON THE THROTTLE AND BE READY
TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN WHILE OPERATING THE BOAT
AT HIGH SPEED.
THE OPERATOR SHOULD BE VIGILANT, LOOKING FAR AHEAD
OF THE BOAT AND BE PREPARED TO SLOW DOWN FOR BOAT
TRAFFIC, BOAT WAKES, ROUGH WATER OR IF THE BOAT
BEGINS TO ROCK FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE OPERATING AT
HIGH SPEED. NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE BOAT THROUGH
A CHINE WALK. ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY REDUCE POWER AND
SLOW DOWN.
12.14 Man Overboard
If someone falls overboard, you must be pre-
pared 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 propeller is 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.
12.15 Trash Disposal
The discharge of plastic trash or trash mixed with
plastic is illegal anywhere in the marine environ-
ment. Regional, State, and local restrictions on
garbage discharges also may apply. On boats
larger than 25 feet, a placard that outlines the
laws governing the discharge of garbage should
be displayed in a conspicuous location.
Responsible boaters store refuse in bags and
dispose of it properly on shore. You should make
sure your passengers are aware of the local waste
laws and the trash management procedure on
your boat.
12.16 Trailering Your Boat
If you trailer your boat, make sure that your tow
vehicle is capable of towing the weight of the
trailer, boat and equipment and the weight of the
passengers and equipment inside the vehicle.
This may require that the tow vehicle be spe-
cially equipped with a larger engine, transmission,
brakes and trailer tow package.
The boat trailer is an important part of your boating
package. The trailer should be matched to your
boat’s weight and hull. Using a trailer with a ca-
pacity too low will be unsafe on the road and cause
abnormal wear. A trailer with a capacity too high,
can damage the boat. Contact your trailer dealer
to evaluate your towing vehicle and hitch, and to
make sure you have the correct trailer for your boat.
