CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN OPERATING A BOAT
WITH SOMEONE IN THE TOWER. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE
IN THE TOWER WHEN THE WATER IS ROUGH OR WHEN
OPERATING IN UNFAMILIAR WATERS WHERE RUNNING
AGROUND IS A POSSIBILITY. REMEMBER, WEIGHT IN THE
TOWER RAISES THE BOAT’S CENTER OF GRAVITY AND
THE BOAT’S MOTION IS GREATLY EXAGGERATED FOR THE
PEOPLE IN THE TOWER.
2.12 Teak Surfing
Teak Surfing is a new and dangerous boating
fad that involves an individual holding on to the
swim platform of a vessel while a wake builds up
then lets go to body surf the wave created by the
boat; hence the term “Teak Surfing.” This activ
-
ity puts that individual directly in the path of the
boat’s exhaust and poisonous carbon monoxide.
Because of the multiple dangers associated with
teak surfing and the carbon monoxide problem
in particular, the Coast Guard has issued a safety
alert that strongly advises the public not to en-
gage in teak surfing and warns that teak surfing
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning and even
fatalities.
Teak surfing not only exposes an individual to
potentially fatal concentrations of carbon mon-
oxide from the engine exhaust, it exposes them
unnecessarily and dangerously to the boat’s pro-
pellers. The danger is compounded by the fact
that individuals do not usually wear a life jacket
when teak surfing.
Teak surfing is an extremely dangerous activity
and you should never allow anyone to “Teak Surf”
behind your boat or be in the water near the ladder
or swim platform while the engine is operating.
WARNING
TEAK SURFING (HOLDING ONTO THE SWIM PLATFORM
WHILE BOAT IS UNDERWAY) IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. TEAK
SURFING PUTS AN INDIVIDUAL DIRECTLY THE PATH OF
THE BOAT’S EXHAUST AND EXPOSES THEM TO POISONOUS
LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE. IT ALSO EXPOSES AN
INDIVIDUAL TO THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING THROWN INTO
THE PROPELLERS. YOU SHOULD NEVER ALLOW ANYONE
TO TEAK SURF BEHIND YOUR BOAT OR TO BE IN THE
WATER NEAR THE LADDER OR SWIM PLATFORM WHILE
THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
The following is a list of safety precautions
for tower operation:
• Do not operate the boat from the tower in
rough sea conditions. The boat’s motions are
exaggerated in the tower and this motion may
become excessive in rough seas.
• Be careful when using the trim tabs from the
tower. The reaction of the trim tabs will be
exaggerated in the tower. Use small tab cor-
rections and wait ten (10) seconds for the tabs
to react. Keep making small corrections until
the hull is at the desired attitude.
• Do not overload the tower. Most towers are
designed to hold the weight of only two aver-
age sized people. The Scout flybridge option
is designed for a maximum of four average
sized people. Weight in the tower raises the
boat’s center of gravity. Too much weight in
the tower could make the boat unstable.
• Do not operate the boat in tight quarters, such
as marinas, from the tower. The operator is
isolated from the boat while in the tower and
will not be able to assist in docking procedures.
• Always pay close attention to your grip and
footing on tower ladders. Your ability to
achieve a good grip and proper footing is re-
duced in wet or rough weather. Therefore, the
tower should be avoided in these conditions.
• Only operate the boat from the tower in famil-
iar waters or where running aground is not a
possibility. Running aground while operating
the boat from the tower could result in severe
injury.
• Always be alert for waves and boat wakes
when operating the boat from the tower.
Remember that the boat’s motions are exag-
gerated in the tower.
• Good common sense and judgment must be
exercised at all times when operating a boat
from the tower.
• If an engine alarm sounds, immediately
put the boat in NEUTRAL and shut OFF the
engine(s), if safe to do so, until the problem
is found and corrected.
• Always put the boat in NEUTRAL before mov-
ing to and from the tower helm and cockpit.
