WARNING
GOOD COMMON SENSE, JUDGMENT AND EXTREME 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. 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.
