22 SAFETY INFORMATION
Operator/Passenger Awareness
– Do not start or operate the boat if
anyone is seated on the sun deck or
swim platform, or is nearby in the
water. Water and/or debris exiting jet
thrust nozzle can cause severe injury.
– The operator and passenger(s) should
be properly seated before starting or
moving the boat. All passenger(s)
should be instructed to use the hand-
holds or seat straps provided.
– When accelerating a boat with a pas-
senger(s), whether from a complete
stop or while underway, always do
so progressively. Fast acceleration
may cause your passenger(s) to lose
their balance or grip and strike some-
thing in the boat or fall out of the
boat. Make sure that your passen-
ger(s) know of, or anticipate, any rap-
id acceleration.
Maneuverability of the
Craft/Towing
– Do not overload the boat or take on
more passengers than designated
for the particular boat. Overloading
can affect maneuverability, stability
and performance.
– Avoid adding on accessories or equip-
ment which may alter your control of
the boat.
– Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling
a tube, skier or wakeboarder makes
the boat handle differently and re-
quires greater skill.
– Always respect the safety and com-
fort of your passenger(s) and per-
son being towed on skis, wake-
board or other towables.
– Always carry an observer when pull-
ing a tube, skier or wakeboarder, pro-
ceed with only as much speed as re-
quired and follow the observer's
instructions. Unless absolutely neces-
sary, do not make tight, sharp turns.
Keep a safe distance from the docks,
other swimmers, craft or objects.
– Use a tow rope of sufficient length
and size and make sure it is ade-
quately secured to your boat. Some
boats are equipped or can be fitted
with a specially designed towing
mechanism. It can become a hazard
should someone fall on it.
Don’t Forget:
– Ride smart from the start and we all
win!
Voluntary Inspections
State boating officials in many states or
the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaries offer
courtesy inspections to check out your
boat. They will check for compliance
with safety standards and required
safety equipment. You may voluntarily
consent to one of these inspections,
and you are allowed time to make cor-
rections without prosecution. Check
with the appropriate state agency or
the Coast Guard Auxiliary for details.
Safe Boating Courses
The local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
and the U.S. Power Squadrons offer
comprehensive safe boating classes
several times a year. You may contact
the BOAT/U.S. Foundation at 1 800
336-BOAT (2628) or, in Virginia, 1 800
245-BOAT (2628), for a course sched-
ule in your area. Also contact the local
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Power
Squadron Flotilla for the time and place
of their next scheduled class. A boat-
ing safety course is recommended and
may be required in your province or
state.
