Look before you turn the boat. As a boater you are obligated
to maintain a proper course and speed. Look before you turn.
Keep track of ski lines and dock lines so they do not become
entangled in the propeller.
Always watch for low obstacles such as tree limbs bridges
or power lines in boats with tow towers.
Seek shelter from open water if there is threat of lightning.
The engine box/cover serves as a machinery guard. The
engine must be OFF whenever the box is open. Clothing for
body parts can get caught in moving parts, causing death
or serious injury. Keep away from moving parts.
When you leave the boat take the keys with you. This will
keep untrained and unauthorized persons from operating
the boat.
Providing assistance to other boaters.
Registration
Federal Law requires that all motorboats be registered
and that all motorcraft not documented by the U.S. Coast
Guard display registration numbers. In nearly all states,
this means registration with the designated state agency.
In a few jurisdictions, the Coast Guard retains registration
authority. Your dealer will either supply registration forms
or tell you where they may be obtained. The agency will
supply you with a certificate which must be carried with
you when the boat is in operation. International laws may
vary as to registration required.
BOATING SAFETY
SECTION 2
2-11
Insurance
The boat owner may be legally responsible for damages or
injuries he or she causes or the operator causes. Common
sense dictates that you carry adequate personal liability
and property damage insurance on your boat, just as
you would on your automobile. You should also protect
your investment from physical damage or theft. Many
states have laws detailing minimum insurance needs. Your
insurance agent or your dealer may be able to supply you
with more information.
Education Opportunities
If you have never owned a boat before, you can get an
excellent introduction to boat handling from organizations
such as the U.S. Coast Guard, American Red Cross or your
local authority. Even if you are a veteran boater, these
courses will help sharpen your boating skills as well as bring
you up to date on current rules and regulations. See your
local boating agency or dealer for information on classes
in your area.
This manual is not intended to provide complete training on
all aspects of boat operation. We strongly recommend that
all operators of this boat seek additional training on boat
handling and safety. Have all operators become familiar
with the handling characteristics, and proper steering and
control system usage before attempting high speed operation.
