Dam Spillways; Weather/Seas - CORRECT CRAFT Nautique 220 Owner's Manual

Weeds can sometimes be removed by shifting to NEUTRAL,
pausing for a moment, then shifting to REVERSE to unwind the
weeds from the propeller.

Dam Spillways

The water level around a dam spillway is a hazardous area. It is
subject to rapid changes caused by currents and turbulence. Keep
clear of the spillway areas below dams.

Weather/Seas

Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. It is recommended
to check the weather, sea and wind conditions not only before, but
also periodically while you are boating.
A change in wave height, wind direction and speed indicates
deteriorating weather. Take common sense precautions if you are
forced to operate your boat in stormy conditions:
• Wear PFDs.
• Reduce speed and head for a safe place that you can easily
reach.
• If you lose power, keep the boat headed into the waves by
using the anchor.
It is best to avoid operating your boat in foggy weather. When fog
sets in take bearings and log courses and speeds. You are required
to emit a five-second blast from your horn or whistle once every
minute. Additionally, have passengers wear PFDs and observe for
oncoming watercrafts.
