Navigation Lights

Your boat is equipped with navigational lights. Recreational boats
are required to display navigational lights between sunset and
sunrise and other periods of reduced visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.).
Navigation lights are provided to keep other boats informed of your
presence and course. It is up to you to make sure they are
operational, displayed correctly, and turned on when required.

Emergency Safety Lanyard

Your boat is equipped with an Emergency Safety Lanyard (cutoff
switch). We recommend that the lanyard be secured to the
operator and the lock plate attached to the emergency cutoff switch
prior to starting the engine and anytime the engine is operating.
The Emergency Safety Lanyard is designed to turn off the engine
whenever the operator moves far enough away from the helm to
activate the switch. The purpose is to stop the engine, propeller,
and boat in the event the operator leaves the helm location, falls
overboard, or is ejected from the boat. If the engine is stopped it
will prevent the boat from becoming a run-away, unmanned boat,
which may cause injury or death to boat occupants who have fallen
overboard or been ejected, or to other nearby people. If the engine
stops it will minimize the subsequent opportunity for propeller
contact with the operator or other persons in the water. If the
engine and boat stop it will afford opportunity for the operator or
other persons who have fallen overboard to safely re-board the
boat.
Emergency Safety Lanyard system as failure to do so
can cause death or serious injury.
DO NOT operate the boat if the Emergency Safety
Lanyard system does not function properly.
• Attach the Emergency Safety Lanyard to a secure place on
your clothing, your arm or your leg while operating.
• DO NOT attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear
loose.
• DO NOT route the lanyard where it could become
