SAFE BOATING RECOMMANDATIONS :

1 - Always wear a life jacket

Local authorities require that you carry an approved flotation device, or life jacket, for each per-

son aboard your vessel. We recommend wearing a life jacket at all times while boating because

you never know when an accident may occur. Statistics show nine of ten drowning vistims may

have survived a capsizing or fall overboard if they had been wearing a life jacket, so choose a

life jacket you will wear.

2 - Use the kill switch lanyard

The operator of the boat must at all time wear a kill switch lanyard while driving . In the event of

accidental ejection or loss of balance, the boat will shut off automatically. Possibility saving the

driver's life or that of someone else's. Tiller handle outboards and somme remote control units

are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard stop switch can be installed as an accessory

on the dashboard or adjacent to the operator's position.

3 - Protect people in the water

Always slow down and exercise extreme caution anytime you are boating in an area where there

are people in the water. Please remember that even if the outboard gear shift is in neutral posi-

tion the propeller may continue to rotate enough to cause serious ejury.

4 - Know your boat

Knowing your boat is the foundation of good seamanship, which is simply managing a boat and

encompasses : navigation, safety, boat handling, line handling, anchoring, troubleshooting of en-

gine problems, and appropriate amergency response.

5 - Take a boat safety course

85%of boating fatalities involve operators who did not have formal boating education. A boat-

ing course will teach you the basics of seamanship mentioned above . The knowledge you will

gain by taking a boating safety course will never be wasted.

6 - Boat sober

Alcoholic drinks are even more dangerous on th water than on land because the marine envi-

ronment accelerates impairment. In boating deaths attributed to alcohol use, over half capsized

or fell overboard. Besides the safety risks, boating while intoxicated, or BUI, is illegal and heavy

penalities are inforced by both state and federal agencies.

7 - Know the navigation rules

Aids to navigation such as buoys and day boards help us navigate in potentially dangerous wa-

ters. Learn to read nautical charts, and keep them on your vessel to become familiar with the

area in which you boat. Taking a boating safety course is the next step, where you will learn to

navigate using charts, GPS, RADAR, and a compass.
