CHAPTER 1
sand bars and water levels influenced by tides. If the vessel strikes
an underwater hazard, check for boat and engine damage. If the
engine vibrates excessively after striking an underwater obstruction,
it may indicate a damaged propeller. If you run aground, seek help
by radio or flares.
• Make sure your boat and equipment are in top condition. Do this
by frequently inspecting the hull, engine and gear.
• You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device
(PFD) for every person on board. These PFD's should be in good
condition and easily accessible.
• Insist that non-swimmers and children on board wear a PFD at all
times. Any time you encounter rough weather conditions, make sure
everyone on board is wearing a PFD, including yourself. Instruct your
passengers in how to put on their PFDs and be sure they know their
storage location on the boat. Remember, in an emergency, a PFD
that cannot be quickly located and worn is useless.
• Never allow anyone to sit anywhere on the boat not specifically
designed a seat. While underway, ALWAYS insist passengers remain
seated.
• Use maximum caution when fueling. Never allow any smoke or
flame nearby while you are fueling. ALWAYS check for fuel leaks
and fumes when fueling is completed.
