GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Your safety, the safety of your passengers, and other boaters are among
your responsibilities as operator of this boat. Your boat must be in
compliance with U.S. Coast Guard safety equipment regulations. You
should know how to react correctly to adverse weather conditions, have
good navigation skills, and follow the "rules of the road" as defined by the
Coast Guard and state/county/local regulations.
Read and understand this manual and the engine manual, and
be sure that you understand all controls and operating
instructions before attempting to operate the boat. Improper
operation can be extremely hazardous.
Before each outing you should check all safety equipment, such as fire
extinguishers, PFDs, flares, distress flags, flashlights, engine stop switch,
etc. They should be operable, in good condition, readily visible, and easily
accessed.
Tell someone of your travel plans. Check local weather reports before
casting off; do not leave the dock area when strong winds and electrical
storms are in the area or predicted to be in the area.
Know the weight capacity of your boat. Do not overload your boat.
