Remember
When you operate a boat, you accept the responsibility for the boat, for the safety of passengers and
for others out enjoying the water.
• Alcohol or drugs can severely reduce your reaction time and affect your better judgment.
• Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to several different signals at once.
• Alcohol makes it difficult to correctly judge speed and distance, or track moving objects.
• Alcohol reduces night vision, and the ability to distinguish red from green.
YOU SHOULD NEVER OPERATE YOUR BOAT WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-
COHOL OR DRUGS.
• Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the skill and experience of you and your crew.
MAKE SURE ONE OTHER PERSON ON THE BOAT IS INSTRUCTED IN THE OPERATION
OF THE BOAT.
MAKE SURE THE BOAT IS OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL STATE AND LOCAL
LAWS GOVERNING THE USE OF A BOAT.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL
FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.
• Before operating the boat for the first time, read the engine break-in procedures. The break-
in procedures are found in the owner’s manual for the engine. The manual is in the literature
packet.
• As different types of engines are used to power the boat, have the dealer describe the operating
procedures for your boat. For more instructions on “How To Operate The Boat,” make sure
you read the instructions given to you in the owner’s manual for the engine you have selected.
