AFETY
Be alert to the possibility of adverse
weather. Take note of marine weath-
er forecasts and the prevailing
weather conditions before setting
out in your Jet Boat.
● Leave a "float plan" with a responsi-
ble person on shore. Tell where you
plan to go and when you plan to
arrive, and provide a description of
your boat. Advise this person if your
plans change and also when you
arrive to prevent false alarms. A
sample float is included on page 6-6.

NIGHT OPERATION

● When using your Jet Boat before
dawn and after dusk, you must have
both bow and stern lights operating.
When at anchor in the dark, the
stern light must be lit. See page 2-13
for instructions.
● Put the bimini top in the fully col-
lapsed position when operating or at
anchor at night. The top can prevent
the white stern light from being seen
from any angle, as is required by
federal and state regulations, which
could increase the risk of a collision
with another boat. An extended
length stern light is available from
your Yamaha dealer if you desire
having the Bimini top up at night.
