Boating safety
This section includes a few of the many im-
portant safety precautions that you should fol-
low when boating.
EMU33710
Alcohol and drugs
Never operate after drinking alcohol or taking
drugs. Intoxication is one of the most common
factors contributing to boating fatalities.
EMU33720
Personal flotation devices
Have an approved personal flotation device
(PFD) on board for every occupant. Yamaha
recommends that you must wear a PFD
whenever boating. At a minimum, children
and non-swimmers should always wear
PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs when
there are potentially hazardous boating condi-
tions.
EMU33730
People in the water
Always watch carefully for people in the wa-
ter, such as swimmers, skiers, or divers,
whenever the engine is running. When some-
one is in the water near the boat, shift into
neutral and shut off the motor.
Stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers
can be hard to see.
The propeller can keep moving even when
the motor is in neutral. Shut off the engine
when a person is in the water near you.
EMU33750
Passengers
Consult your boat manufacturer’s instructions
for details about appropriate passenger loca-
tions in your boat and be sure all passengers
are positioned properly before accelerating
and when operating above an idle speed.
Standing or sitting in non-designated loca-
tions may result in being thrown either over-
board or within the boat due to waves, wakes,
or sudden changes in speed or direction.
Even when people are positioned properly,
alert your passengers if you must make any
unusual maneuver. Always avoid jumping
waves or wakes.
EMU33760
Overloading
Do not overload the boat. Consult the boat ca-
pacity plate or boat manufacturer for maxi-
mum weight and number of passengers. Be
sure that weight is properly distributed ac-
cording to the boat manufacturers instruc-
tions. Overloading or incorrect weight
distribution can compromise the boats han-
dling and lead to an accident, capsizing or
swamping.
EMU33770
Avoid collisions
Scan constantly
for people, objects, and oth-
er boats. Be alert for conditions that limit your
visibility or block your vision of others.
Operate defensively
at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people, ob-
jects, and other boats.
●
Do not follow directly behind other boats or
waterskiers.
●
Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that
make it hard for others to avoid you or un-
derstand where you are going.
