Boating with passengers

WARNING
When passengers are on board, make
sure they are seated and holding onto the
handgrips, handrails, or straps before you
start to accelerate. An unprepared passen-
ger could lose balance and fall.
Your boat is designed for one operator and up
to 8 passengers only. Never have more than
9 people in the boat. Passengers must sit in
one of the seats and hold onto the handgrips.
Passengers should sit so the weight in the
boat is balanced from side-to-side and bow-
to-stern as much as possible. If the passenger
seat in front of the helm is used, be sure the
operator's view ahead is not obstructed.
