Never forget the danger that boat propellers can inflict to people in
the water. Remember to shut off your engines when approaching
swimmers, or you or somebody else is trying to remove debris
from your propeller.
When your Northstar ORION RIB's engine is running, alert swim-
mers to stay clear off the stern.
