OPERATION
Boarding the Watercraft
Boarding With a Passenger
A watercraft behaves differently with a passenger on
board, requiring more operator skill. Practice operating
skills alone, before taking a passenger on board. Make
sure the watercraft engine is turned off when boarding
with a passenger.
1. The operator should board first as outlined on page
57. Attach the lanyard lock plate to the engine stop
switch and fasten the lanyard wrist band to the left
wrist or PFD. Do not start the engine yet.
NOTE:
During boarding, the passenger should
steady the watercraft while the operator
boards. The operator can then help balance
it while the passenger boards.
2. The passenger should move (or swim) to the rear
of the vehicle.
3. The passenger should pull him/herself on board
using the grab handle. Both operator and passenger
should try to balance the watercraft while the
passenger is boarding.
4. The operator should see that the passenger is
holding on tightly and that both feet are on the
footrests before starting the engine.
