Caution
Denotes a reminder of safety practices or directs attention to unsafe practices which could
result in personal injury or damage to the craft or components or to the environment.
Safe boating recommendations
1. Always wear a life jacket
Local authorities require that you carry an approved personal floatation device, or life jacket, for each person
aboard your vessel. We recommend wearing a life jacket at all times while boating as you never know when
an accident may occur. Statistics show nine of ten drowning victims may have survived a capsizing or fall
overboard if they had been wearing a life jacket, so choose a life jacket you will wear.
2. Use the kill switch lanyard
The operator of the boat must wear at all time a kill switch lanyard while driving. In the event of accidental
ejection or lose of balance, the boat will shut off automatically, possibly saving driver's life or someone else's.
Tiller handle outboards and some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory on the dashboard or adjacent to the operator's position.
3. Protect people in the water
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in area where there might be
people in the water. Please remember that even if the outboard gear shift is in neutral position the propeller
will continue to rotate slightly but enough to cause serious injury.
4. Know your boat
Knowing your boat is the foundation of good seamanship, whic h is simply the skill of managing a boat and
encompasses; navigation, safety, boat handling, line handling, anchoring, troubleshooting engine problems,
and appropriate emergency response.
5. Take a boating safety course
Eighty five percent of boating fatalities involve operators who did not have formal boating education. A
boating course will teach you the basics of seamanship mentioned above. The knowledge you will gain by
taking a boating safety course will never be wasted.
6. Boat sober
Using alcohol is even more dangerous on the water than on land because the marine environment
accelerates impairment. In boating deaths attributed to alcohol use, over half capsized or fell overboard.
Besides the safety risks, boating while intoxicated, or BUI, is illegal and heavy penalties are enforced by both
state and federal agencies.
7. Know the navigation rules
Aids to navigation such as buoys and day boards help us navigate potentially dangerous waters. Learn to
read nautical charts and keep them on your vessel to become familiar with the area in which you boat.
Taking a boating safety course is the next step, where you will learn to navigate using charts, GPS, RADAR,
and a compass.

Danger
When operating, passengers must avoid standing up or hanging feet outside of the
boat. Leaking fuel is a fire hazard, inspect fuel system regularly.
Shut off the engine before boarding from the water.
Warning
Shall the operator or passenger fall out of the boat, the possibility of serious injury or
death from being run over by the boat can be greatly reduced by stopping the engine
immediately. Always properly connect both end of the stop switch lanyard to the stop
switch and the operator.
Caution
Passengers must use suitable PFDs ( Personal Flotation Device ) . Special PFDs are
designed for children or water sport activities.
