First Aid - PURSUIT 3070 CENTER CONSOLE Owner's Manual

GASOLINE CAN EXPLODE. IN THE EVENT OF A FUEL COMPARTMENT OR
BILGE FIRE, YOU MUST MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO FIGHT THE FIRE
OR ABANDON THE BOAT. YOU MUST CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY
OF YOUR PASSENGERS, THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE AND THE POSSIBILITY
OF AN EXPLOSION IN YOUR DECISION.
Sound Signaling Devices
The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Recreational
vessels are also required to sound fog signals during periods of reduced visibility. Therefore, you
must have some means of making an efficient sound signal that is audible for .5 nautical miles.
Navigation Lights
Recreational boats are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and other
periods of reduced visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.) Navigation lights are intended to keep other
vessels informed of your presence and course. Your Pursuit is equipped with the navigation
lights required by the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of manufacture. It is up to you to make sure
they are operational and turned on when required.

11.6 First Aid

It is the operator's responsibility to be familiar with the proper
first-aid procedures and be able to care for minor injuries or
illnesses of your passengers. In an emergency, you could be far
from professional medical assistance. We strongly recommend
that you be prepared by receiving training in basic first aid and
CPR. This can be done through classes given by the Red Cross
or your local hospital.
Your boat should also be equipped with at least a simple marine first-aid kit and a first-aid
manual. The marine first-aid kit should be designed for the marine environment and be well
supplied. It should be accessible and each person on board should be aware of its location. As
supplies are used, replace them promptly. Some common drugs and antiseptics may loose their
strength or become unstable as they age. Ask a medical professional about the supplies you
should carry and the safe shelf life of prescription drugs or other medical supplies that may be
in your first-aid kit. Replace questionably old supplies whether they have been used or not.
In many emergency situations, the Coast Guard can provide assistance in obtaining medical
advice for treatment of serious injuries or illness. If you are within VHF range of a Coast Guard
Station, make the initial contact on channel 16 and follow their instructions.
