SAFE boating means:
•
Knowing the limitations of your boat;
•
Following the rules of the road;
•
Keeping a sharp lookout for people and objects
in the water;
•
Not boating in water or weather conditions
that are beyond the boat's and the operator's
capability;
•
Never go boating when the operator is under
the infl uence of drugs or alcohol;
•
Being aware of your passenger's safety at all
times; and
•
Reducing speed when there is limited visibility,
rough water, nearby people in the water, boats,
or structures.
Boating in beautiful weather and calm water
conditions can be a wonderful experience.
Pleasurable boating, however, requires considerably
greater skills than operating a land vehicle. To obtain
these skills, you must:
•
Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron
or equivalent boating safety course. Call the
Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628 for
information on available courses.
•
Get hands-on training on how to operate your
boat properly.
In addition:
•
Maintain your boat and its safety and other
systems as recommended in this manual.
•
Have the boat inspected by a qualifi ed mechanic
or dealer, at least annually.
•
Ensure that the Coast Guard required safety
equipment is on board and functions. (See page
1.3).
