● Always perform the pre-operation
checks on page 3-4 before operat-
ing to be sure your equipment is
working properly.
● The operator should always attach
the engine stop switch lanyard
(cable) to his PFD so that the
engines will stop if the operator
accidentally leaves the helm. Failure
to attach the lanyard could result in
a runaway boat if the operator is
ejected.
Be sure the lanyard is not wrapped
around the steering wheel or tan-
gled in the controls which would pre-
vent the lanyard from pulling away.
To prevent accidental starting of the
engine, always remove the lanyard
from the stop switch when the
engine is not running.

● Always watch carefully for swim-
mers. Stay away from swimming
areas. Swimmers are hard to see
and you could accidentally hit
someone in the water.
● Avoid being hit by another boat!
Always watch for traffic; other
boaters may not be watching for
you. If they don't see you, or you
maneuver more quickly than other
boaters expect, you risk a collision.
