12.6 Controls, Steering, or
Propulsion System Failure:
If the propulsion, control or steering system fails while you
are operating the boat, bring both throttles to idle and shift to
neutral. Decide whether you need to put out the anchor to
prevent the boat from drifting or to hold the bow into the
seas. Investigate and correct the problem if you can. Turn
the engines off before going into the engine compartment to
make repairs. If you are unable to correct the problem, call
for help.
If only one engine has failed, you can usually run home on
the other engine. Be careful not to apply too much power to
the engine that is running. When only one engine is used to
power a twin engine boat, that engine is over propped and
can be overloaded if too much throttle is applied. You should
contact your dealer or the engine manufacturer for the maxi-
mum power settings when running on one engine.
12.7 Collision
If your boat is involved in a collision with another boat, dock,
piling or a sandbar, your first priority is to check your pas-
sengers for injuries and administer first aid if necessary. Once
your passengers situations are stabilized, thoroughly inspect
the boat for damage. Check below decks for leaks and the
control systems for proper operation. Plug all leaks or make
the necessary repairs to the control systems before proceed-
ing slowly and carefully to port. Request assistance if neces-
sary. Haul the boat and make a thorough inspection of the
hull and running gear for damage.
12.8 Grounding, Towing and
Rendering Assistance
The law requires the owner or operator of a vessel to render
assistance to any individual or vessel in distress, as long as
his vessel is not endangered in the process.
If the boat should become disabled, or if another craft that is
disabled requires assistance, great care must be taken. The
stress applied to a boat during towing may become exces-
sive. Excessive stress can damage the structure of the boat
and create a safety hazard for those aboard.
Freeing a grounded vessel, or towing a boat that is disabled,
requires specialized equipment and knowledge. Line failure
and structural damage caused by improper towing have re-
sulted in fatal injuries. Because of this, we strongly suggest
that these activities be left to those who have the equipment
and knowledge, e.g., the U.S. Coast Guard or a commercial
towing company, to safely accomplish the towing task.
THE MOORING CLEATS ON WELLCRAFT BOATS
ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO BE USED
FOR TOWING PURPOSES. THESE CLEATS ARE
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AS MOORING CLEATS
FOR SECURING THE BOAT TO A DOCK, PIER, ETC.
DO NOT USE THESE FITTINGS FOR TOWING OR
ATTEMPTING TO FREE A GROUNDED VESSEL.
WHEN TOWING OPERATIONS ARE UNDERWAY,
HAVE EVERYONE ABOARD BOTH VESSELS STAY
CLEAR OF THE TOW LINE AND SURROUNDING
AREA. A TOW LINE THAT SHOULD BREAK WHILE
UNDER STRESS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, AND
COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
RUNNING AGROUND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
TO PASSENGERS AND DAMAGE TO A BOAT AND
ITS UNDERWATER GEAR. IF YOUR BOAT SHOULD
BECOME GROUNDED, DISTRIBUTE PERSONAL
FLOTATION DEVICES AND INSPECT THE BOAT FOR
POSSIBLE DAMAGE. THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE
BILGE AREA FOR SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. AN
EXPERIENCED SERVICE FACILITY SHOULD CHECK
YOUR UNDERWATER GEAR AT THE FIRST
OPPORTUNITY. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE YOUR
BOAT IF THE CONDITION OF THE UNDERWATER
EQUIPMENT IS QUESTIONABLE.
12.9 Flooding, or Capsizing
Boats can become unstable if they become flooded or com-
pletely swamped. You must always be aware of the position
of the boat to the seas and the amount of water in the bilge.
Water entering the boat through the transom door or over the
stern gunnels can usually be corrected by closing the door
and turning the boat into the waves. If the bilge is flooding
because of a hole in the hull or a defective hose, you may be
able to plug it with rags, close the thru-hull valve or assist the
pumps by bailing with buckets. Put a mayday call in to the
Coast Guard or nearby boats and distribute life jackets as
soon as you discover your boat is in trouble.
If the boat becomes swamped and capsizes, you and your
passengers should stay with the boat as long as you can. It is
much easier for the Coast Guard, aircraft, or other boats to
spot, than people in the water. If your boat is equipped with
an EPIRB, make sure it is activated. When activated, EPIRBs
will send distress code homing beacons that allow Coast Guard
aircraft to identify your boat and find you quickly.
