They will explain how to avoid hazards that may endanger you, your passengers, towed participants, and other boaters.
  • Page 16: Basic Safety Rules

    Section 1 Basic Safety Rules Make sure you understand all of the operating instructions prior to attempting to operate this boat. Boating-related accidents are generally caused by the operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Most accidents can be avoided if the operator is completely familiar with the boat and its operation, follows recommended practices, and is able to recognize and avoid potentially hazardous situations.
  • Page 17 Boating Safety • Check bilge pump, horn, lights, blower and other equipment to verify they are operating properly. • Verify that the emergency cutoff switch lanyard is in proper operating condition and is properly affixed to the driver. • Check the operation of the steering system. Verify that the steering is operational before launching the boat.
  • Page 18: Precautions While Underway

    Section 1 - If you see liquid gasoline in the engine compartments/bilge or smell gasoline vapors, DO NOT attempt to start the engine. Liquid gasoline in the bilge is an extreme fire and explosion hazard which may cause injury or death. Find and fix the source of the leakage, remove the liquid gasoline from the bilge.
  • Page 19 Boating Safety • Not operate the engine in a confined space or while tethered to another vessel as CARBON MONOXIDE will be around the boats. • Not go under the boat cover with the engine running or shortly after the engine has been running because CARBON MONOXIDE may remain under the cover.
  • Page 20 Section 1 • Be aware that your boat will handle differently depending on loading and on-board weight distribution. • Ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated in appropriate seating locations to avoid falling or falling overboard. • Instruct and ensure that passengers remain properly seated at all times while the boat is in motion above idle speed.
  • Page 21 Boating Safety • Keep track of tow lines and dock lines so that they do not become entangled in the propeller. A tow line will wrap quickly around a spinning propeller and is capable of immobilizing the boat and dragging a person entangled in the tow line underwater or causing amputations.
  • Page 22: Safety While Maintaining The Vessel

    Section 1 Safety While Maintaining the Vessel Failure to follow these precautions may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others. The operator shall: • Visually inspect the engine compartment and ventilate after refueling. • Inspect fuel system regularly. Examine fuel tanks, hoses and fittings for leaks or corrosion at least annually because leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard.
  • Page 23: Owner Responsibility And Boating Education

    Boating Safety • Be aware that battery electrolyte fluid is dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous, corrosive and caustic.

  • Page 40: Weighting Your Boat During Watersport Activities

    Section 1 The capacity plate has the following information permanently printed on it: • The total weight of persons, gear and other items which the boat is capable of carrying under normal conditions. This weight must include any added ballast above and beyond boat manufacturer’s factory installed ballast system(s).
  • Page 41 Boating Safety When loading your boat, give attention to the effect that the load distribution has on the boat’s trim angle. Trim angle is the technical term for the up or down pitch angle of your boat (also known as the “bow up”...
  • Page 42: Visibility Of The Operator

    Section 1 It is the boat operator’s responsibility to tell passengers to move to other seats on the boat, so as to not overload the stern or bow of the boat, nor restrict the boat operator’s forward visibility. There is no single recommended seating or load distribution for all conditions.
  • Page 43: Boating Under The Influence

    Boating Safety Obstructed visibility can cause death or serious injury. The operator must maintain clear visibility at all times while operating the boat. Arrange passengers and equipment appropriately or designate a passenger to assist when visibility is limited. Boating Under the Influence Operating boat or boating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs can cause serious injury or death.
  • Page 44: Product Misuse

    Section 1 Impaired operation may result in severe personal injury or death. Federal and state laws prohibit operating a boat under the influence of alcohol and other drugs. If the operator’s blood alcohol content is above the legal limit, violators are subject to fines and may go to jail. Violators may also lose automobile driving privileges.
  • Page 45: Rendering Assistance

    Boating Safety Rendering Assistance If you see a distress signal or suspect a boat is in trouble, you must assume it is a real emergency and render assistance immediately. By law, the operator in charge of the craft is obligated to provide assistance to any individual in danger, presuming assistance can be safely provided.
  • Page 46 Section 1 Weeds Weeds can generally be a threat to a boat’s engine and other components on the boat. If weeds wrap around the propeller, they can create vibration in the engine. They also can restrict water intakes or clog the water filter causing the engine to overheat.
  • Page 47: Environmental Concerns

    Boating Safety Environmental Concerns As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the peace of the great outdoors. It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the natural environment by keeping waterways clean. Foreign Species If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you have the potential of unknowingly introducing a foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next.
  • Page 48 Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak performance. Consult your Nautique dealer for information. Paints If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate.
  • Page 49 Boating Safety Cleaning Agents Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways.

  • Page 57 Boating Safety Burdened Vessel The burdened vessel does not have the right-of-way and has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the privileged vessel. Normally, the burdened vessel should not cross in front of the privileged vessel.
  • Page 58 Section 1 Conversely, the following illustration depicts a situation in which you are the boat in the center and you are the burdened vessel. You must give right-of-way to all vessels coming towards you from the directions shown in green. Meeting Head-On When meeting head-on, neither vessel has the right of way.
  • Page 59 Boating Safety Overtaking The boat that is overtaking one ahead of it is the burdened boat and must make any adjustments necessary to keep out of the way of the privileged boat, until the burdened boat is well ahead and clear of the vessel being overtaken.
  • Page 60: Aids To Navigation

    Section 1 If you navigate these type of waters, you should carry a portable air horn, which are available from local marine supply stores. Aids to Navigation Learn to recognize the different buoys and day markers; they are the signposts of the waterways. The United States Aids to Navigation System (USATONS) is the primary marking system used on inland water, coastal waters and rivers in the United States.
  • Page 61 Boating Safety FWMS System The FWMS Lateral System is for use on navigable waters except Western Rivers and Intercoastal Waterways. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going toward the port). This means that red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side of the vessel when proceeding from open water into port, and green buoys to the port (left) side.
  • Page 62 Section 1 Lights, bells and horns are used on buoys for night or poor visibility conditions. Buoys with unique light flashing characteristics are identified on nautical charts with the specific flashing pattern. Types of Buoys There are several types and shapes of buoys. Buoys may be unlighted, lighted, with sound or may have both an audible and a visual signal.
  • Page 63 Boating Safety Mooring Buoys The only buoys from which you are permitted to moor are mooring buoys. Mooring buoys are white with a blue horizontal stripe. Mooring to a navigation buoy, regulatory markers or lateral markers is illegal. Mooring Buoy – White with Blue Band May Show White Reflector or Light 1-51...
  • Page 64 Section 1 Uniform State Regulatory Markers Regulatory markers indicate dangerous or restricted controlled areas. These markers are used to indicate speed zones, areas set aside for particular use, general information and directions. Regulatory markers are white with orange geometric shapes and also have orange bands near the top and at the water line of the buoy.
  • Page 65 Boating Safety Warning Markers It is a good idea to ask local authorities if there are hazardous areas and how they are marked. Boaters must also recognize the flag designs, which indicate that skin divers are present and keep well clear of the area.
  • Page 66: Night Running

    Section 1 Night Running Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by state) must use navigational lights. Nighttime operation, especially during bad weather or fog can be dangerous. All “Rules of the Road” apply at night, but it is best to slow down and stay clear of all boats, regardless of who has right of way.
  • Page 67 Boating Safety Sailboats and Watercraft Under Oars Sailboats less than meters (65.62 feet) may exhibit the navigation lights shown in Figures 3 or 4. Figure 3 Figure 4 Another option for sailboats is to use a single combination lantern at the top of the mast as shown in Figure 5.
  • Page 68 Section 1 Sailboats less than 7 meters (22.96 feet) may carry an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light to be displayed in sufficient time to prevent collision (see Figure 6 - left picture). If practicable, the lights prescribed for sailboats less than 20 meters should be Figure 6 displayed.

  • Page 86: Drowning

    Section 1 Drowning • Swim to rescue a drowning victim only as a last resort. • Immediate resuscitation is critical! It may be possible to revive a drowning victim who has been under water for some time and shows no sign of life. Start CPR immediately and get the victim to a hospital as quickly as possible.
  • Page 87 Boating Safety A recreational boat towing another should be a last resort due to the potential for damaging one or both boats. The Coast Guard or a private salvage company is better equipped for this activity. A recreational boat may assist by standing by, and possibly by keeping the disabled boat’s bow at a proper angle until help arrives.
  • Page 88 Section 1 Vessel Being Towed • Attach the towline to the bow eye. • If it is necessary to be towed after being freed, keep someone at the wheel to steer. Both Vessels • If you attach the towline to a fitting, be sure the fitting is fastened with a through bolt and is reinforced on the underside.
