CHAPTER 1
General safety procedures for towing skiers and wake boarders include
the following:
• Know your hand signals and make sure all your passengers know
them. See the illustration on Page 1-34.
• Do not allow non-swimmers to ski or wake board. You're asking
for trouble!
• Always have an observer on board whose sole job is to watch the
skier/wakeboarder and communicate with the driver.
• If you plan to do alot of skiing/wake boarding, it is advisable to have
a ski pylon and driver's rear view mirror installed.
• Acquaint yourself with the ski site before skiing/wake boarding.
• Follow the speed limits and all posted signs- i.e. no wake, etc.
• Keep the boat away from swimmers or other people in the water.
• Avoid running near the shoreline or in heavily congested areas with
skier/wake boarder in tow.
• Do not allow skier/wake boarder to spray fisherman or other parties.
• Keep the engine speed steady while towing a skier/wake boarder.
• Make wide turns with skier/wake boarder in tow.
• Instruct skier/wake boarder in case of a fall to raise his ski in the air
to ensure his visibility.
• Always turn your engine off when the skier/wake boarder is near
the platform or transom.
• If the skier falls, return promptly to retrieve him, circling wide from
the starboard side, to bring his rope within easy grasp.
