Stolen Power Package - Mercury 540 Bravo Manual

Be alert. The operator of the boat is responsible by law to maintain a proper
lookout by sight and hearing. The operator must have an unobstructed view
particularly to the front. No passengers, load, or fishing seats should block the
operators view when operating the boat above idle speed.
Never drive your boat directly behind a water‑skier in case the skier falls.
As an example, your boat traveling at 40 km/h (25 MPH) will overtake a fallen
skier 61 m (200 ft) in front of you in five seconds.
Watch fallen skiers. When using your boat for waterskiing or similar activities,
always keep a fallen or down skier on the operator's side of the boat while
returning to assist the skier. The operator should always have the down skier in
sight and never back up to the skier or anyone in the water.
Report accidents. Boat operators are required by law to file a boating accident
report with their state boating law enforcement agency when their boat is
involved in certain boating accidents. A boating accident must be reported if:
1. There is loss of life or probable loss of life
2. There is personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid
3. There is damage to boats or other property where the damage value
exceeds $500.00
4. There is complete loss of the boat
IMPORTANT: Seek further assistance from local law enforcement for a
complete list of rules and regulations.
