driving your boat. These rules are used inter- nationally, and are also enforced by the Unit- ed States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and fol- low them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water. Several sets of rules prevail according to geo- graphic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. -
Page 12: Other Special Situations
General information Meeting If you are meeting another power vessel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of col- lision, neither of you has the right-of-way! Both of you should alter course to avoid an ac- cident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. - Page 13 Fishing vessel right-of-way All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing ves- sels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way re- gardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other ves- sels in narrow channels.

engine, and propeller. Correct trim is also af- fected by variables such as the load in the boat, sea conditions, and running speed. EWM00740 WARNING Excessive trim for the operating condi- tions (either trim up or trim down) can cause boat instability and can make steer- ing the boat more difficult. -
Page 42: Adjusting Boat Trim
Operation EMU27911 Adjusting boat trim When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and effi- ciency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the bow up, the boat may have a greater tenden- cy to steer to one side or the other. -
