SAFETY INFORMATION

OPERATING RULES
Operating a watercraft can be com-
pared with driving unmarked highways
and roads. To prevent collisions or
avoid other boaters, a system of oper-
ating rules must be followed. It’s not
only common sense...it’s the law!
Remember these Rules of
the Road
Know the Right of Way Rules
Generally keep to your right and safely
avoid other craft by keeping a safe dis-
tance from other craft, people and ob-
jects.
1. RED light
2. GREEN light (Yield zone)
Crossing
Give right of way to craft ahead and to
your right. Never cross in front of a
boat.
Meeting Head-On
Keep right.
Passing
Give right of way to other craft and
keep clear.
Navigation System
Navigational aids, such as signs or
buoys, can assist you identify safe wa-
ters. Buoys will indicate whether you
should keep to the right (starboard) or
to the left (port) of the buoy or to which
channel you can continue. They may
also indicate whether you are entering
a restricted or controlled area such as
a no wake or speed zone. They may
also indicate hazards or pertinent boat-
ing information. Markers maybe locat-
ed on shore or on the water. They can
also indicate speed limits, no power
craft or boating, anchorage and other
useful information. (The shape of each
type of marker will provide assistance).
• Make sure you know and under-
stand the navigation system appli-
cable to the waterways where you
intend to use the watercraft.
