Safety
Swamping
Swamping or flooding the interior of the boat can occur
for a number of reasons, including severe weather
conditions, improper operation, and improper loading.
Consider the following:
• Know the safe loading limits for this boat under
normal conditions. Refer to the boat specifica-
tions in the
Maintenance Section
of this manual
and the Certification Plate in the boat.
• Consider reducing those loading limits during spe-
cial operations or adverse weather conditions.
• Distribute the load evenly (fore/aft and port/star-
board) so that the approximate center of the load
is near the middle of the boat.
• Close all hatches, doors, and windows during
severe weather. Install the dive door if equipped.
• Adjust boat trim and speed to match weather con-
ditions.
• Avoid backing into large waves whenever possi-
ble.
• Check operation of all bilge pumps, float switches,
and water level sensors before each trip.
