Marine safety
DANGER
Pay the utmost attention to reef, floating or immersed objects, bathers,
divers, fishing nets, high waves, etc.
DANGER
Always use extreme caution when approaching someone in the water.
Approach them at idle speed only, allowing your stern to swing away from
them as you get close. Place the shifter in neutral and shut off the boat
engine when you are still several metres from the person in the water.
DANGER
When the engines are running – even if at idle speed – do not allow anyone
to stay in the stern area. Propellers can cause serious injury and death. If
any swimmer or bather is near the boat, SHUT OFF the engines.
WARNING
When docking, passengers and crew must remain seated until all
manoeuvres are completed.
