Tow Line Guidelines - CORRECT CRAFT super air 230 2018 Owner's Manual

• Never climb, sit or stand on a wakeboard tower. The
wakeboard tower is intended for towing only as noted. It is
designed to pull a limited number of individual(s), and in
some cases only one (1) individual. Please consult the
remainder of this manual and warning labels on tower for
details. The wakeboard tower approved for use on your boat
should be used only for water skis, wakeboards or
recreational towables, and not for parasailing, kite flying or
towing other boats.
• Many states require the use of "skier down" flags. Check your
local lake and state requirements. Having the observer raise
a skier down flag when your towed watersport participant
falls down or off the towed device will alert boats around you
to the fact that someone is in the water nearby and that they
should avoid the area.
• Many lakes have recommended tow patterns. Other boats
may expect that you know the local customs and practices. It
is common that the tow pattern is counter-clockwise around
the lake, but there are exceptions. Check for local
recommendations or requirements.
• NEVER lift or trailer the boat with water in the bilge or in
ballast tanks. Lift or trailer per manufacturer's instructions.
• Around marina docks where electrical current is present
(such as shore power connections) it is unsafe to swim as
stray electrical currents may exist which can cause you to
drown.

Tow Line Guidelines

Tow lines come in different lengths and strengths for different
activities. Make sure any line you are using is suited for skiing or
riding and that it is in good condition.
• Never use a tow line that is frayed, knotted, unraveling or
discolored from use or being left in the sun. If a line breaks
while in use it can recoil at the skier/rider being towed or
into the watercraft where it might strike passengers. Replace
tow lines with any sign of damage.
