Severe Weather Before embarking, check weather conditions. Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Stay up to date with the latest weather conditions while on the water. If you are caught in severe weather, do the following: 1. Slow down and proceed with 6.
Page 157
Avoid operating your boat in fog. When fog sets in, take bearings and log courses and speeds. Emit a five second blast from your horn or whistle once every minute. Wear personal flotation devices and watch for oncoming vessels. Shallow Water Shallow water operation presents a number of hazards including sandbars and changing tidal levels.
Page 158
Fueling Use extreme caution when fueling. Never allow smoke or flame nearby while you are fueling. Turn off engines, all electrical equipment, radios, stoves, and other appliances, and remove all passengers from the boat before fueling. After fueling, ventilate the vessel by opening all ports, hatches, and doors and running the blower for at least four minutes.
Page 159
Exhaust and Carbon Monoxide Carbon Monoxide (CO) can be hazardous, especially in exhaust from gasoline engines and generators, grills, stoves, and space heaters. Diesel engines and generators produce much less CO, but even low levels of CO exposure can be dangerous. Be aware of and avoid: 1.

Water Sports Safety Be particularly careful around those engaging in water sports like scuba divers, water skiers and wake boarders, and fishermen. Scuba Diving Towing Sports Wear a life jacket when engaging in any towing activities like water skiing, wake boarding, wake surfing, or tubing.
Swim Platform Fishing When underway, stay clear of Swim Platform fishermen. Nets and lines can get cut or caught in our propeller when operating too close. Slow down when approaching fishing boats and do not return to cruising speeds until clear.
Personal Flotation Devices The USCG organizes PFDs into five You are legally required to provide ‘Types:” I, II, III, IV, and V. Types I, II, one USCG approved, wearable III, and V are wearable PFDs. Type personal flotation device (PFD) IV PFDs are throw-able and the to every person on board.

PFD Types Type III: Type I: This buoyant flotation aid is effective in inland waters where there is This offshore, inherently buoyant chance for immediate rescue. It jacket is the most buoyant and is is normally used for supervised effective in all waters where rescue activities like water skiing, wake may be delayed.

Type V: Life Rafts This PFD must be inflated to be Inflatable life rafts are recommended buoyant and is only effective in for ocean going vessels. Make sure the special cases for which it was the raft is large enough for everyone designed like sailing vests or deck on board and contains proper suits.
Fire Extinguishers USCG approved marine type Approved extinguishers have a fire extinguishers required marine type mounting bracket on all recreational boats with a that keeps them mounted when permanently installed fuel tank. water. Extinguishers Fire extinguishers are classified should be mounted in a readily with a letter and a number.
Distress Signals All vessels operating in the navigable, coastal and territorial waters of the United States must be equipped with USCG approved visual distress signals. Vessels owned in the United States and operating on the high seas must also have approved visual distress signals. Pyrotechnic Devices Pyrotechnic orange smoke, hand held or floating (day).
No distress signal is best in all 2. Electric distress lights: For circumstances, but pyrotechnics night use only. Used to flash are widely considered the most the international SOS distress effective. They do, however, emit a signal in Morse code (...---...). searing flame that can cause burns Under inland navigation rules, and ignite flammable materials.

Very high frequency or VHF radios are used for distress signaling, ship to ship, and ship to shore communication. All Regal boats leave the manufacturer with a VHF- FM radio installed. Channel 16 is the primary channel for ships in distress.
Pollution Regulations Marpol Treaty Immediately notify the USCG if your vessel discharges oily or hazardous The International Convention for the substances. Call toll free at 800- Prevention of Pollution from Ships 424-8802. Report location, source (MARPOL) prohibits dumping refuse size, color, substance and time matter of any kind into the waters observed.
In ‘No Discharge Zones’ it is illegal and therefore it is illegal to empty to dump treated or untreated wastewater tanks, on all Regal boats, wastewater. Contact your local and into any waters in the contiguous state environmental agencies to find United States.

Introduction Just like there are rules for driving on the road, there are also rules for driving on water. These ‘Rules of the Road’ define the responsibilities of vessel operators and, when followed correctly, can reduce boating accidents. It is your responsibility to understand and follow them whenever encountering another vessel.
Encountering Vessels There are three main situations in which you will encounter another vessel: meeting, crossing, and overtaking. Post a lookout to watch for dangers that may come from any direction and assist in navigation when encountering another vessel. Meeting Crossing In a head on meeting, neither vessel When two vessels cross in close...

Safety and Security Zones In response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the attack on the USS Cole, the USCG established Safety and Security Zones to keep U.S. Naval vessels, commercial vessels, cruise ships, and essential infrastructure safe. Help protect our country by following all rules and regulations. 1.
Navigation Aid Navigation aids, like buoys or beacons, are placed along coastal and navigable waters to help operators determine their position relative to land and as guides to mark safe water and hidden dangers. Each aid provides specific information. Aids are often used together to form a system that helps operators follow the natural and improved channels.
Navigation lights help avoid collision by improving visibility. All Regal boats are required to have navigation lights displayed on the vessel as indicated. Follow all manufacturer instructions regarding replacement of navigation lights and Do not tamper or otherwise modify...
