Boater's Responsibilities
The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe
operation of the boat and safety of its occupants and general
public. It is strongly recommended that each operator (driver) read
and understand this entire manual before operating the power
package.
Be sure at least one additional person on board is instructed in the
basics of starting and operating the power package, and boat
handling in case the driver is unable to operate the boat.
Boat Horsepower Capacity
Avoid serious injury, death or property damage from
overpowering a boat. Using a power package that exceeds the
maximum horsepower limit of a boat can:
•
Cause loss of boat control.
•
Place too much weight at the transom altering the designed
flotation characteristics of the boat
•
Cause the boat to break apart, particularly around the transom
area.
Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a
required capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power
and load as determined by the manufacturer following certain
federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boat
manufacturer.
