Safety
In a manual of this type, it is impossible to give adequate space to the topic of water safety. For further information on
boating safety, visit USCGBoating.org or enroll in a water safety course given by a local provider.
It is your responsibility to be aware of and comply with all relevant safety regulations. For all water recreation
or
sport, you should have reasonable swimming abilities. It is strongly advised that you should never go
boating alone.
General Boating Safety Tips
• Always wear a USCG approved PFD (life vest) at all times while on the water.
• Be aware of your local boating rules and regulations and abide by them accordingly.
• Check inflation levels each time before you go out and inflate your boat for a full 24 hours before undertaking long
trips.
• DO NOT allow children to use your Sea Eagle unsupervised.
• DO NOT consume alcohol while boating or operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• DO NOT drag your Sea Eagle over rocks or gravel if it can be avoided.
• DO NOT exceed the certified maximum capacities of this boat under any circumstance.
• DO NOT go boating alone.
• DO NOT use compressors, CO
2
or compressed air for inflation, only use Sea Eagle recommended pumps.
• DO NOT use your Sea Eagle Boat as a personal flotation device as they are not rated for that use.
• DO NOT sleep inside of your Sea Eagle while on the water.
• Bring a cell phone or other emergency contact device in a waterproof bag.
• Always tell someone of your boating plans.
Safety Equipment & Important Safety Items
The type of water conditions you are on should determine the type of safety equipment that you should have on
board. For all types of boating we strongly recommend that every passenger wear a USCG approved PFD (personal
flotation device) like a life vest. In most places this is a requirement by law, but it is also an exercise of good judgment
to have a PFD for all passengers
Drinking Water & Snacks: Boating is a physical activity that can work up both a thirst and a sweat. On a hot or warm
day it is smart to have drinking water readily available to prevent dehydration. Bring an ample supply of water.
Extra Clothes/Layers: You never know when the weather can change and it’s a good idea to come prepared with
extra clothing. A dry (waterproof) bag will keep clothes dry in case of emergency.
First Aid-Kit: The contents of the kit may vary depending upon your preferences, but make sure to carry a kit that
reflects the possible dangers for the conditions you are in.
Manual Pump/Repair Kit: Although our boats are both durable and rugged, it may be possible that you need to
make a repair while on the water so you’ll need the repair kit and a manual pump to re-inflate the boat. If this is your
first repair, you may also want to bring this instruction manual with you.
Sun/Rain Protection: A hat can protect both your face and head from the rain or sun. Use and carry sunscreen with
you as both the sun and the sun’s reflection from the water can do serious damage to your skin. If you are out for
prolonged periods of time you may need to reapply sunscreen as needed.
Whistle: Having a whistle readily available is a great way to attract the attention of others if assistance is needed.
Float Plan: Similar to a pilot’s Flight Plan, consider having a Float Plan (www.floatplancentral.org). Always tell
someone where you are going to be boating and what time you plan to return. Keep a cell phone in a waterproof
container that will float if it falls in the water.
