Operation
WARNING
NEVER ANCHOR THE BOAT BY THE STERN. THE STERN
OF THE BOAT IS VULNERABLE TO SWAMPING FROM WAVE
ACTION AND WIND AND CURRENT WILL PUT MORE STRESS
ON THE ANCHOR WHEN IT IS ATTACHED TO THE STERN.
ONLY ANCHOR THE BOAT BY THE BOW
2.6 Controls, Steering or
Propulsion System Failure
If the propulsion, control or steering system fails
while you are operating the boat, bring the throt-
tles 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. In-
vestigate and correct the problem if you can. Turn
the engine 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 engines. Be careful not to apply
too much power to the engines that are running.
When one or more engines are not operating on
a multi engine boat, the remaining engine or en-
gines are 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 without
one engine.
CAUTION
ENGINE DAMAGE CAN RESULT IF PROPER EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES ARE NOT FOLLOWED ON MULTI ENGINE
BOATS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT ON TRIPLE
OR QUAD ENGINE BOATS WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING.
REFER TO THE ENGINE AND CONTROL SYSTEM MANUALS.

RECOMMENDED BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER.
2.7 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 admin-
ister 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.
2.8 Grounding, Towing &
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.
DANGER
THE MOORING CLEATS ON SCOUT BOATS ARE NOT
DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO BE USED FOR TOWING
PURPOSES. THESE CLEATS ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
AS MOORING CLEATS FOR SECURING THE BOAT TO A
DOCK, PIER, ETC. DO NOT USE THESE FITTINGS FOR
TOWING OR ATTEMPTING TO FREE A GROUNDED VESSEL.
WARNING
WHEN TOWING OPERATIONS ARE UNDERWAY, HAVE
EVERYONE ABOARD BOTH VESSELS STAY CLEAR OF THE
TOW LINE AND SURROUNDING AREA. A TOW LINE THAT
SHOULD BREAK WHILE UNDER STRESS CAN BE VERY
DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
