CAPACITY AND WEIGHTING YOUR BOAT
Do not exceed the capacity warning label a xed to the
boat in the helm area. The capacity limit is shown in
the number of people and weight limit in pounds. The
combined weight of people and gear must be considered
when loading the boat. Ballast and fuel have been
considered in the capacity limit and do not need to be
added to the people and gear weight. Ballast weight
above factory installed equipment must be calculated
into the total weight of people and gear.
Although water intrusion and waves spilling inside a boat
is an obvious boating hazard, this hazard can increase
when weighting your boat for water sports such as
wakeboarding or wakesur ng. Do not overweight the
boat or exceed boat capacity. Use good judgment when
using unbalanced weight in your boat. Concentrating
weight in a rear corner of the boat for wakesur ng puts
the top of the deck closer to water level. Backwash, large
waves and choppy water are more likely to swamp the
boat in this situation.

When loading your boat give separate attention to the bow area.
Excess and unevenly distributed weight in the bow of the boat
can create a water in ux hazard, unstable steering conditions,
and even loss of control. Driver visibility can be reduced if the
bow is overloaded or unevenly weighted.
Excess and improper loading of bow area forward of windshield
may cause water in ux, operating instability, and loss of control
resulting in injury or death. See Seating Capacities for bow limits.
Use good judgment when weighting your boat for any towed
water sports. Educate yourself on the proper responses for the
di ering and potentially unsafe conditions you could encounter.
