If the drive train fails, or controls or steering do not
respond properly at all:
• Shut off engine.
• Put out the anchor to prevent drifting.
• Determine whether or not you can repair the
problem yourself. See the proper manuals for
assistance in troubleshooting the engine,
steering and engine controls.
• If you are not sure you can fix the problem, or if
conditions are adverse, signal for help.

gives only the general areas of concern for
boating safety. It is not intended to be, nor can
it be, exhaustive. You must take a boating safety
course, and get hands-on instruction in the
proper and safe operation of your boat from
experienced persons before cruising.
The U.S Coast Guard offers many pamphlets on
safety and other information not covered in this book.

law enforcement agency.
