Stability
Wet decks are slippery.
You can be seriously injured if you slip and fall.
Wear slip resistant footwear secured to your feet and hold on to rails
or boat structure.
!
WARNING
Boat motion can be erratic.
You can fall overboard or be injured by hitting something in or on the boat.
All persons must be in cockpit area or cabin and be prepared for sudden
boat movement.
Use front or bow deck area only during anchoring, mooring or emergencies.
!
WARNING
When persons are on the working deck area, for anchoring, mooring, or in emergencies, they must be holding
on and be positioned so as to prevent falling. In bad weather and/or rough water, if it is essential to be on deck,
persons should be closely tied to cleats, railing stanchions or other securely fastened boat hardware.
Your boat was manufactured to specific stability and flotation standards for the capacity shown on the
certification plate. Any increase from the recommended load capacities will put your boat in jeopardy of
capsizing, swamping and/or sinking.
In Addition:
• Stability may be substantially reduced if equipment is added above the deck.
• Stability is substantially reduced by loose fluids or weight within the hull. Keep bilge area as dry as
possible, and close all openings, hatches and windows in rough weather.
Rotating propellers can injure or kill you.
Shut off engine when persons are in water near boat, or on swim
platform or ladder.
DANGER
!
Distribute passengers and gear as uniformly as possible from front to rear
and left to right.
The manufacturer’s load rating is the maximum allowed under calm conditions.
Reduce boat loading if weather, water or other conditions are adverse.
