Chapter 12:
OPERATION
12.1 General
Before you start the engines on your Wellcraft, you should
have become familiar with the various component systems
and their operation, and have performed a “Precruise System
Check." A thorough understanding of the component sys-
tems and their operation is essential to the proper operation
of the boat. This manual and the associated manufacturers’
information is provided to enhance your knowledge of your
boat. Please read them carefully.
Your boat must have the necessary safety equipment on board
and be in compliance with the U.S. Coast Guard, local and
state safety regulations. There should be one Personal Floata-
tion Device (PFD) for each person. Nonswimmers and small
children should wear PFDs at all times. You should know
and understand the “Rules of the Road" and have had an ex-
perienced operator brief you on the general operation of your
new boat. At least one other person should be instructed on
the proper operation of the boat in case the operator is sud-
denly incapacitated.
The operator is responsible for his safety and the safety of
his or her passengers. When boarding or loading the boat,
always step onto the boat, never jump. All passengers should
be properly seated whenever the boat is operated above idle
speed. Your passengers should not be allowed to sit on the
seat backs, gunnels, bows, transoms or on fishing seats when-
ever the boat is underway. The passengers also should be
seated to properly balance the load and must not obstruct the
operator's view, particularly to the front.
Overloading and improper distribution of weight can cause
the boat to become unstable and are significant causes of
accidents. Know the weight capacity and horsepower rating
of your boat. Do not overload or overpower your boat.
You should be aware of your limitations and the limitations
of your boat in different situations or sea conditions. No
boat is indestructible, no matter how well it is constructed.
Any boat can be severely damaged if it is operated in a man-
ner that exceeds its design limitations. If the ride is hard on
you and your passengers, it is hard on the boat as well. Al-
ways modify the boat speed in accordance with the sea con-
ditions, boat traffic and weather conditions.
Remember, it is the operator's responsibility to use good
common sense and sound judgement in loading and oper-
ating the boat.
12.2 Rules of the Road
As in driving an automobile, there are a few rules you must
know for safe boating operation. The following information
describes the basic navigation rules and action to be taken by
vessels in a crossing, meeting or overtaking situations while
operating in inland waters. These are basic examples and not
intended to teach all the rules of navigation. For further in-
formation consult the “Navigation Rules” or contact the Coast
Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Department of Natural Re-
sources, or your local boat club. These organizations spon-
sor courses in boat handling, including rules of the road. We
strongly recommend such courses. Books or videos on this
subject also are available from your local library.
Note:
Sailboats not under power, paddle boats, vessels
unable to maneuver, vessels engaged in commer-
cial fishing and other vessels without power have
the right of way over motor powered boats. You
must stay clear or pass to the stern of these ves-
sels. Sailboats under power are considered mo-
tor boats.
Crossing Situations
When two motor boats are crossing, the boat on the right has
the right of way. The boat with the right of way should main-
tain its course and speed. The other vessel should slow down
and permit it to pass. The boats should sound the appropriate
signals.
Meeting Head-On or Nearly-So Situations
When two motor boats are approaching each other head-on
or nearly head-on, neither boat has the right of way. Both
boats should reduce their speed and turn to the right so as to
pass port side to port side, providing enough clearance for
safe passage. The boats should sound the appropriate sig-
nals.
Overtaking Situations
When one motor boat is overtaking another motor boat, the
boat that is being passed has the right of way. The overtaking
boat must make the adjustments necessary to provide clear-
ance for a safe passage of the other vessel. The boats should
sound the appropriate signals.
The General Prudential Rule
In obeying the Rules of the Road, due regard must be given
to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special
circumstances, including the limitations of the vessels, which
