boat manufacturer.

Never operate after drinking alcohol or tak-
G
ing drugs. About 50% of all boating fatali-
ties involve intoxication.
Have an approved personal flotation de-
G
vice (PFD) on board for every occupant. It
is a good idea to wear a PFD whenever
boating. At a minimum, children and non-
swimmers should always wear PFDs, and
everyone should wear PFDs when there
are potentially hazardous boating condi-
tions.
Gasoline is highly flammable, and its va-
G
pors are flammable and explosive. Handle
and store gasoline carefully. Make sure
there are no gas fumes or leaking fuel be-
fore starting the engine.
This product emits exhaust gases which
G
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas which may cause brain dam-
age or death when inhaled. Symptoms in-
clude nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness.
Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilat-
ed. Avoid blocking exhaust outlets.
Check throttle, shift, and steering for prop-
G
er operation before starting the engine.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a
G
secure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating. If you accidentally
leave the helm, the lanyard will pull from
the switch, stopping the engine.
Know the marine laws and regulations
G
where you will be boating - and obey them.
Stay informed about the weather. Check
G
weather forecasts before boating. Avoid
boating in hazardous weather.
Tell someone where you are going: leave
G
a Float Plan with a responsible person. Be
3
sure to cancel the Float Plan when you re-
turn.
Use common sense and good judgment
G
when boating. Know your abilities, and be
sure you understand how your boat han-
dles under the different boating conditions
you may encounter. Operate within your
limits, and the limits of your boat. Always
operate at safe speeds, and keep a careful
watch for obstacles and other traffic.
Always watch carefully for swimmers dur-
G
ing the engine operation.
Stay away from swimming areas.

When a swimmer is in the water near you
