Always step, not jump, into the boat when boarding. Board one person at a time. Get in the boat and then lift
equipment aboard. Do not carry heavy or cumbersome equipment while you are boarding. Follow the same
procedure when getting off the boat. Always stow equipment in the storage compartments.
To help prevent passengers from being thrown overboard resulting in
severe personal injury or drowning, all passengers should be carefully
seated and not be riding on the deck, gunwale, rear sun deck, or elevated
pedestal fishing seats while underway. Passengers in the bow rider seats
If your boat is equipped with non-adjustable pedestal seats, the pedestal pole should be removed and stowed in a
compartment when the boat is moving faster than trolling speeds.
