Section 1
• Ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated
in appropriate seating locations to avoid falling or falling
overboard.
• While the engine is running, and while the boat
maneuvering, all occupants should be properly seated. DO
NOT stand while the boat is moving.
• DO NOT sit on the engine box, seat backs, transom seating,
sunpad, boarding platform or gunnels while the boat is
underway. You could fall overboard and be hit by the
propeller, or another boat.
• DO NOT allow objects, arms or legs, or any other body parts
to hang over the bow or gunnels. Stay within the boat.
• Passengers should not sit in locations that obstruct the
operator's visibility.
• Persons and gear should be stowed in a way that distributes
weight appropriately and in a manner that trims the boat
properly (pitch angle). Excessive weight at either the bow or
the stern relative to one another can cause trim problems
leading to reduced driver visibility, erratic steering, loss of
control, or bow submergence and flooding/swamping.
• Passengers should be well aware of emergency equipment
and instructed in its use.
• Passengers should assist with lookout duties and notify the
operator of any approaching watercraft or potentially unsafe
conditions to provide assistance with collision avoidance.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a deadly, colorless and odorless gas
produced by all engines and fuel burning appliances. Even with the
best boat design and construction, plus the utmost care in
inspection, operation and maintenance, hazardous levels of carbon
monoxide may be present in or near the boat under certain
conditions. Even catalyst equipped boats still generate carbon
monoxide. The boat owner, operator, as well as all boat occupants,
must understand the dangers of carbon monoxide and must
comply with all safety recommendations/requirements. For boats
with cabins, always ventilate the boat interior and avoid boating
situations which cause increased exposure.
