    ECTION OATING AFETY 1.0 Boating Safety Boating safety is your responsibility. You must fully understand the operating procedures and safety precautions in the Owner’s Information kit and this owner’s guide before you operate your new boat. Safe boating is no accident. 1.1 Safe Operation Safe operation includes, but is not limited to, the following.
  • Page 26 OATING AFETY ECTION • Instruct at least one passenger onboard in the basic operation of your boat. This person can take over if you unexpectedly become unable to do so. • Do not allow passengers to ride on parts of your boat other than desig- nated seating areas.

  • Page 27: Adverse Conditions

    ECTION OATING AFETY 1.2 Adverse Conditions 1.2.1 Weather At all times, the boat operator should be aware of present weather condi- tions and the weather forecast. Check the forecast before you begin a day of boating. Be aware, however, that weather conditions can change rapidly. If you have a marine radio, listen to the weather reports issued by the U.S.

    ECTION OATING AFETY 1.3 Emergency Procedures The following is not an exhaustive list of situations which may be encoun- tered while boating. You should obtain training to handle any emergen- cies which may arise. 1.3.1 Fire Any fire onboard your boat is serious. Explosion is possible. Develop a fire response plan.

  • Page 30: Flooding

    OATING AFETY ECTION • Keep the fire downwind if possible. If the fire is aft, head into the wind. • Have all persons onboard put on their personal flotation devices. • If you can get at the fire, aim the fire extinguisher at the base of the flames and use a sweeping motion to put out the fire.

  • Page 31: Collision

    ECTION OATING AFETY 1.3.4 Collision If a serious collision occurs, check everyone onboard for injuries, then inspect the boat to determine the extent of the damage. • Prepare to help the other craft unless your boat or its passengers are in danger.

  • Page 34: Safety Equipment

    OATING AFETY ECTION 1.4 Safety Equipment NOTE: Federal law requires you to provide and maintain safety equipment onboard your boat. Consult U.S. Coast Guard, state and local regulations to ensure your boat has all required safety equipment onboard. You must learn about any additional recommended equipment before operating the boat.

  • Page 35: Sound Signaling Device

    Your boat must have an operable device that can produce a sound signal if conditions require. A horn is standard equipment on all Carver models. Boats longer than 39 feet, 4 inches, must have a bell and a whistle. These devices must meet the requirements of the Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980.

  • Page 36: Recommended Equipment

    OATING AFETY ECTION Boats longer than 40' and shorter than 65': Because your boat has a fixed fire extinguishing system approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, Two Type B-I or one Type B-II extinguisher is required. All fire extinguishers should be mounted in a readily accessible location away from the engine room.

    “Boating Safety Training Manual” and “Federal Requirements For Recreational Boats.” Check with your local U.S. Coast Guard station, your Carver Dealer, or a local marina about navigational aids unique to your area.

  • Page 38: Drugs And Alcohol

    OATING AFETY ECTION In addition to required documents, it is strongly recommended that you maintain the following logs. Log books are available from maritime supply stores. • A navigation log containing engine speeds, compass courses and time records, which are essential for both cruising and maintenance pur- poses.

  • Page 39: Boating Accidents

    ECTION OATING AFETY 1.5.7 Boating Accidents The operator of a vessel used for recreational purposes is required to file a report whenever an accident results in loss of life or disappearance from a vessel, an injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, property damage in excess of $200 or complete loss of the vessel.

  • Page 40: State And Local Ordinances

    OATING AFETY ECTION 1.5.8.4 State and Local Ordinances Your state or locality may have laws limiting speed, noise, or your boat’s wake. Check with your harbor master to find out whether your boat’s opera- tion is restricted in any way by local ordinances or state laws. Check with state and local authorities to make sure that you are in compliance with local regulations regarding marine sanitation, noise, speed and wake.

    If you are not sure which type of cooling system is installed on your boat, contact your Carver Dealer. Both open and closed cooling systems require seawater to function. Before each cruise, make sure the cooling system seacocks are closed, then make sure the optional strainers are free of seaweed and other debris.

    ROPULSION ECTION 5.4 Exhaust System The exhaust system for each engine consists of an exhaust manifold, a muffler, and the exhaust pipes used to remove exhaust from the engine to the atmosphere. If the exhaust system contains leaks or obstructions, or has any other problem that prevents it from venting exhaust properly, carbon monoxide may escape and endanger you and your passengers.

    ROPULSION ECTION 5.6 Engine Gauges Each helm is equipped with a complete set of gauges on the instrument panel. The gauges allow you to monitor the operation and condition of your boat’s propulsion systems while underway. The side of the instru- ment panel that the gauges are on (port or starboard) determines the respective engine that the gauges are for.

  • Page 121: Oil Pressure Gauge

    ECTION ROPULSION Even with high temperature alarms installed, it is important that you visually monitor both temperature gauges while running the engines. If a temperature gauge indicates excessive engine temperature, immediately shut off the affected engine. The engine manufacturer has established a maximum coolant tempera- ture rating for your engines, as listed in the engine OEM information.
