Passenger Safety Message - Pontoon Boats And Deck Boats - Mercury Jet OptiMax 110 Manual

WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY
Avoid injury resulting from contacting the rotating impeller or
having hair, clothing, or loose objects drawn into the water
intake and wrapping around the impeller shaft. Stay away from
the water intake and never insert an object into the water
intake or water outlet nozzle when the engine is running.
Stop the engine immediately whenever a person is in the water
near the boat. The jet drive is always drawing water through the
water intake when the engine is running. Stay away from the
water intake located under the jet drive and never insert an
object into the water intake or outlet nozzle when the engine is
running.
Passenger Safety Message ‑ Pontoon Boats and
Deck Boats
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all
passengers. Do not allow any passengers to stand or use seats
other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed.
A sudden reduction in boat speed, such as plunging into a large
wave or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp change of
boat direction, could throw them over the front of the boat.
Falling over the front of the boat between the two pontoons will
position them to be run over by the outboard.
BOATS HAVING AN OPEN FRONT DECK
No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the
boat is in motion. Keep all passengers behind the front fence or
enclosure.
