Section 3
SEATING LOCATIONS
Your tow boat is a high-performance craft capable of rapid acceleration, high
speeds and tight turns. The operator is responsible for the safety of passengers
and must instruct on the proper seating locations and the use of hand of
hand-holds. The number of persons onboard must be determined by the
combined weight of passengers, gear and ballast and must not exceed the
maximum weight capacity listed on the Capacity Plate. With full ballast, full fuel
and gear for 5 adult skiers, the maximum number of persons based on weight may
be 6, even though the Capacity Plate lists 11.
Passengers must always be seated in the proper locations, on the horizontal seat
surface, and use the provided hand-holds while underway. The operator must pay
special attention when children are riding in the bow seats as water conditions can
change rapidly causing an unsafe condition. Small children should never be
allowed to ride in the bow seats without adult supervision. Refer to the designated
people placement for your model.
