SAFETY

Boating is challenging and inherently dangerous. Follow safe boating practices.  Be physically fit enough to meet the challenges, 

prepared for any weather conditions that might be anticipated, and follow the safety basics. Protect all personal items in a  

waterproof bag. Secure all accessories to the boat. 

Motor Safety and Reboarding

 

 

        

   Warning:

 

Spinning propellers and carbon monoxide produced by gas engines can cause serious injury or death. 

• 

Do not approach a running motor from the water. 

• 

If you or your passenger falls overboard, 

do not attempt to reboard in the motor mount area.

• 

Turn engine off at a safe distance when approaching a swimmer in the water.

• 

Install propeller guard on gas motors

Warning Labels:

 

If the motor is equipped with an engine safety cutoff (kill) switch, the driver must attach the cable to themselves, either around 

the thigh or wrist, or to clothing (preferably a life jacket). In addition:

• 

Test regularly to ensure that the engine stops when the kill cord is pulled from the switch.

• 

Make sure that the kill cord is in good condition.

• 

Always attach the kill cord securely to the driver, ideally before the engine is started, but certainly before the boat is put in 

gear.

• 

Stop the engine before transferring the kill cord to another driver.

• 

Wireless kill switches are available and each passenger can wear one.

Solo Reboarding

To get back in the boat from the water, hold one of the safety handles with one hand. Stay low in the water and with a big scissor 

kick pull on the handle, grab one of the seats and throw one leg over the side. Roll into the boat.
