SAFETY INFORMATION
25
Everyone participating in a water sport
should observe these guidelines:
1. Allow only capable swimmers to
take part in any water sport.
2. Always wear a personal flotation
device (PFD) approved by the U.S.
Coast Guard. Wearing a properly
designed PFD helps a stunned or
unconscious person stay afloat. A
Type-IV water-ski vest is an ap-
proved and practical PFD.
3. Have a second person aboard to ob-
serve the person being towed and
inform the driver about the partici-
pant’s hand signals. The driver must
give full attention to operating the
boat and the waters ahead.
4. Be considerate to others you share
the water with.
5. Never allow a person to “teak surf”
behind your boat. Do not tow a per-
son in any water sport on a short
tow rope such that the person in-
hales exhaust fumes in concentra-
tion. Inhalation of concentrated ex-
haust fumes, which contain carbon
monoxide, can result in CO poison-
ing, personal injury and death.
6. Give immediate attention to a per-
son who has fallen. He or she is vul-
nerable in the water alone and may
not be seen by other boaters.
7. Approach a person in the water from
the lee side (opposite the direction
of the wind). Turn off the motor be-
fore coming close to the person.
8. Turn off engine and anchor the boat
before swimming.
9. Participate in water sports only in
safe areas. Stay away from other
boats, channels, beaches, restrict-
ed areas, swimmers, and heavily
traveled waterways and underwa-
ter obstructions.
10. Swim only in areas designated as
safe for swimming. These are usu-
ally marked with a swim area buoy.
Do not swim alone or at night.

11. Do not water ski between sunset
and sunrise. It is illegal in most
states.
12. Do not drive the boat directly be-
hind a water skier, tuber or wake-
boarder. At 40 km (25 mi) per hour,
the boat will overtake a person
who falls in the water 60 m.
(200 ft) in front of your boat in
about 5 seconds.
13. Shut engine off and remove igni-
tion key when anyone is in the wa-
ter nearby.
