GENERAL INFORMATION

Be alert. The operator of the boat is responsible by law to maintain

a proper lookout by sight and hearing. The operator must have an

unobstructed view particularly to the front. No passengers, load,

or fishing seats should block the operator's view when operating

the boat above idle speed.

Never drive your boat directly behind a water‑skier in case the skier

falls. As an example, your boat traveling at 40 km/h (25 MPH) will

overtake a fallen skier 61 m (200 ft) in front of you in 5 seconds.

Watch fallen skiers. When using your boat for waterskiing or similar

activities, always keep a fallen or down skier on the operator's side

of the boat while returning to assist the skier. The operator should

always have the down skier in sight and never back up to the skier

or anyone in the water.

Report accidents. Boat operators are required by law to file a

Boating Accident Report with their state boating law enforcement

agency when their boat is involved in certain boating accidents. A

boating accident must be reported if 1) there is loss of life or

probable loss of life, 2) there is personal injury requiring medical

treatment beyond first aid, 3) there is damage to boats or other

property where the damage value exceeds $500.00, or 4) there is

complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local law

enforcement.
