Sport Boat
• DO NOT remove or modify any components of the fuel system
except for maintenance by qualified personnel. Tampering with
fuel components may cause a hazardous condition.
• DO NOT wrap ski lines or mooring lines around any body part
which may become entangled in the line if you fall overboard and
the boat is moving.
• Keep track of ski lines and dock lines so they do not become
entangled in the propeller.
• Be sure to securely attach the engine emergency stop switch
lanyard to a part of your clothing, such as a belt loop, when
operating the boat.
• Be sure to keep a watch for other boats, swimmers and
obstructions in the water. Stay away from other boats and
personal watercraft.
• Be sure to have an experienced operator at the helm and always
have at least three people present for safe towing – one to drive,
one to observe and one to ski or ride.
• Seek shelter from open water if there is threat of lightning.
• Operate slowly in congested areas such as marinas and mooring
areas.
• The bow may be slippery. Do not go forward while the engine is
running.
• When you leave the boat take the keys with you. This will keep
untrained and unauthorized persons from operating the boat.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide.
• DO NOT operate the engine in a confined space.
• DO NOT go under the boat cover with the engine running or
shortly after the engine has been running.
• DO NOT use boarding platform with the engine running.
• DO NOT “teak surf.”
• Allow adequate ventilation with fresh air before entering.
• Slow down when crossing waves or wake in order to minimize the
impact on passengers and the boat.
