SAFE BOATING CHECKLIST
When leaving on a cruise, whether for
an hour or for several days, go through
the following
SAFE BOATING CHECK-
LIST .
Reminders Regarding
Operation...
– The performance of this boat may
significantly exceed that of other
boats you may have operated. Be-
come completely familiar with the
controls and operation of this boat
before embarking on your first trip
or taking on a passenger(s). If you
have not had the opportunity to do
so, practice driving solo in a suit-
able traffic-free area and feel the re-
sponse of each control. Be fully fa-
miliar with all controls before accel-
erating above idle speed. Do not as-
sume that all boats handle identical-
ly. Each model differs, often sub-
stantially.
– Always keep in mind that as the
throttle lever is returned to the idle
position, less directional control is
available.
To turn the boat, both
steering and throttle are necessary.
– Like any other boat, this boat has
no brake. Stopping distance will
vary depending on initial speed,
load, wind, and water conditions.
Practice stopping and docking in
a safe, traffic-free area to have an
idea of how long it will take to stop
the boat under varying conditions.
Do not release the throttle when
trying to steer away from objects.
You need throttle to steer. Do not
use the boat's reverse to stop.
– Do not start or operate the boat if
any person is not properly seated in
a seat intended for use when under-
way (not the sun deck or swim plat-
form) or if a person is nearby in the
water.
– The boat's jet thrust can cause in-
jury. Always accelerate slowly, and
decelerate in a controlled fashion.
– Observe the instructions on all safe-
ty labels. They are there to help as-
sure that you have a safe and enjoy-
able outing.
– Riding with passenger(s) or pulling
other boats, tubes, a skier or a wake
boarder makes the boat handle dif-
ferently and requires greater skill.
– Certain boats may come equipped
with tow eyelets, a ski pole or a
wakeboard tower which can be
used to attach a tow rope for a ski-
er, tube or wakeboarder.
Do not
use these attachment points or any
other portion of the boat to tow a
parasail or another craft. Personal
injury or severe damage may occur.
– In shallow water, proceed with
caution and at very low speeds.
Grounding or abrupt stops may
result in injury to you, your passen-
gers or others. The jet pump may
pick up debris and throw it rearward
causing a risk of injuring people or
damaging the jet pump or other
property.
– Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO), which can cause
injury or death if inhaled in suffi-
cient quantities.
Do not operate
the boat in a confined area or allow
CO to accumulate in or around the
boat, or in enclosed or sheltered
areas.
Such as when docked, or
when rafting. Be aware of risk of
CO from exhaust of other boats.
– Educate all occupants about the
risks and symptoms of CO accu-
mulation and CO poisoning, par-
ticularly from engine and genera-
tor exhaust. Educate them about
where engine exhaust outlets (and
generator outlets if so equipped)
are located. Regularly inspect ex-
haust and generator system and
outlets for component failures or
obstructions.
