Capsized Watercraft
This watercraft does not right itself if it has been capsized. The
operator and passenger must know how to right the watercraft or
they could become stranded which could result in severe injury or
death.
Severe engine damage could also result from not righting a
capsized watercraft as soon as possible.
1. To prevent major engine
damage when the watercraft is
capsized, be sure the engine is
stopped immediately. The
engine will overheat if running
while capsized.
