GENERAL INFORMATION

Protecting People In The Water

WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING

It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to

avoid a boat heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.

21604

Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are

boating in an area where there might be people in the water.

Whenever a boat is moving (even coasting) and the gear shift is in

neutral, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to

cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can

cause serious injury.

WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY

WARNING

Stop your engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is

near your boat. Serious injury to the person in the water is likely

if contacted by a rotating propeller, a moving boat, a moving

gearcase, or any solid device rigidly attached to a moving boat

or gearcase.

Shift into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to

swim or be in the water near your boat.

Exhaust Emissions

BE ALERT TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Carbon monoxide is present in the exhaust fumes of all internal

combustion engines. This includes the outboards, sterndrives and

inboard engines that propel boats, as well as the generators that

power various boat accessories. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas

that is odorless, colorless and tasteless.
