Collision
If a serious collision occurs, fi rst check the persons on board for injuries.
then inspect the boat to determine the extent of damage.
• Prepare to help the other craft unless it places your passengers or boat
in danger.
• If the bow of the other boat penetrated your boat’s hull, prepare to plug
the fracture once the boats are separated.
• Shore up the hole inside your boat with a spare life jacket or cushion.
• While plugging the hole, shift weight to get the hole above the water
level.
• If your boat is in danger of sinking, have all persons put on their per-
sonal fl oatation devices.
• If your boat has a radio, contact the U.S. Coast Guard or other rescue
authorities immediately (VHF channel 16 or 22 CB radio).
Running Aground
If you run aground check everyone for injury and inspect damage to the
boat and propeller(s). If possible, shift weight of passengers or gear to
heel the boat while reversing engine(s). If towing becomes necessary, do
not attach tow line to deck cleats. These are not designed to take full load
of the boat. Chaparral recommends using a commercial towing service.
WARNING: When towing another boat or having your boat
towed, make sure the tow line is fastened securely to the bow
or transom towing eyes. Never attach tow line to deck cleat or
anchor windlass. Cleat or windlass may pull free from deck and
cause serious personal injury or property damage.
