OPERATING YOUR BOAT
5-15 53 COUPE
While maneuvering around the dock, have all guests on board remain in the
cockpit, or cabin areas, if they are not involved in the handling of mooring lines.
5.3 WHILE UNDERWAY
As the skipper of your boat, everyone on board is your responsibility. Their safety
and enjoyment of the trip depends on your ability to operate your boat properly.
You must stay aware of the weather and sea conditions, surrounding boating
traffic, navigation of area waters, and the condition of your boat, its equipment
and its engines.
When operating your boat at night, or when visibility is significantly reduced, display
the proper running lights. For specific information on which lights and signals are
needed for different conditions, refer to information
from the U.S. Coast Guard,
or see Chapman Piloting & Seamanship .
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR BOAT WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
ALCOHOL. DOING SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND/OR DEATH. SMART SKIPPERS STAY
SOBER!
WARNING
!
Remember :
1. Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to several different
signals at once.
2. Alcohol makes it difficult to correctly judge speed and distance, or
track moving objects.
3. Alcohol reduces night vision and the ability to distinguish red from
green.
Keep a watchful eye on the wake that your boat produces when underway. When
boating around or near docks and seawalls, it is important to operate at or near
idle RPMs in order to minimize your boat’s wake. Most local governments hold
you responsible for damage caused by your boat’s wake. Control the size of your
wake when boating around smaller craft to avoid capsizing the smaller vessel.
