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.
• Keep the victim warm.
• Use care in handling. Spinal injury may exist if the victim fell
overboard.
• Call and signal for help.

Medical Emergency

In an emergency, you may be far from professional medical
assistance. Be prepared and know how to use your first aid kit. Be
aware of any special medical conditions of your passengers.

Operation Failure

If you experience a propulsion, electrical, steering or control
failure, immediately shut off the engine. If it is safe to do so and you
are qualified, then try to determine the cause of the failure and
repair. Otherwise, call or signal for assistance. Anchor the boat if
drifting will put you and others in danger.
