Passenger Safety Message ‑ Pontoon Boats And
Deck Boats
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all passengers. Do
not allow any passengers to stand or use seats other than those designated
for traveling faster than idle speed. A sudden reduction in boat speed, such
as plunging into a large wave or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a
sharp change of boat direction, could throw them over the front of boat.
Falling over the front of the boat between the two pontoons will position
them to be run over by the outboard.
BOATS HAVING AN OPEN FRONT DECK
No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the boat is in
motion. Keep all passengers behind the front fence or enclosure.
