"BRIG" inflatable boats
Do not operate your boat with an engine of rated power larger than that stated on the
builder's plate in the boat.
Do not operate this craft at negative propulsion unit trim settings (bow down) at high speed.
Craft may lean over on side. Instability in turns may result. Use negative trim to accelerate
to planing speed from displacement speed and at lower planing speeds in choppy water
(applicable to craft equipped with propulsion unit power trim).
Do not operate at maximum speed while in congested high traffic waterways or in weather
and sea conditions of reduced visibility high winds or large waves. Reduce speed and wake
as a courtesy and as a safety consideration to yourself and others. Observe and obey speed
limit and no wake zones.
Observe right-of-way as defined by Rules of the Road and required by COLREG.
Always be certain to have sufficient distance to stop or manoeuvre if required to avoid
collisions.
