Safety information
tercraft to avoid accidental starting or un-
authorized use by children or others.
Scan carefully for swimmers and stay away

from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard
to see and you could accidentally hit some-
one in the water.

should always take the responsibility to
watch for traffic; other boaters may not be
watching for you. If they do not see you, or
if you maneuver more quickly than other
boaters expect, you risk a collision.
Maintain a safe distance from other boats

and watercraft, and also watch for ski
ropes or fishing lines. Obey the "Safe boat-
ing rules" and be sure to check behind you
before making a turn. (See "Safe boating
rules" on page 18.)
