result in serious injury or death.
The operator shall:
• Check that the area behind the boat is all clear
before starting the engine to AVOID PROPELLER
INJURY to persons in the water behind the boat or
on the swim platform.
• Turn off the engine prior to anyone occupying the
swim platform or being in the water behind the
boat to AVOID PROPELLER INJURY. Being in
neutral gear is insufficient; the propeller may still
be turning, or engine may be inadvertently shifted
into gear.
• Not back the boat toward persons in the water
behind the boat to AVOID PROPELLER INJURY.
• Not allow people to be on or near the swim
platform or in the water near or around the swim
platform while the engine is running because
CARBON MONOXIDE will exist around the back of
the boat when the engine is running. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is a
deadly, odorless, colorless gas.
• Not operate the engine in a confined space or
while tethered to another vessel as CARBON
MONOXIDE will be around the boats.
• Not go under the boat cover with the engine
running or shortly after the engine has been
running because CARBON MONOXIDE may
remain under the cover. Remove cover to ventilate
the area.
