Decks are very slippery when wet.
Marine Toilet - The toilet or “head” takes only waste and toilet paper . (All other tissues, paper and
hygiene products should be disposed in garbage or other suitable containers.) Push down pedal to flush bowl
and be sure pedal releases and stops flushing before leaving.
Marine Shower – There are hot/cold valves that control the water temperature as well as an on/off valve in the
shower head. The shower basin drains to a sump that is then pumped overboard. Periodic inspection of the sump
(under the deck) verifies that the pump is working properly.
Docking and Locking While waiting for a lock to open or bridge to go up, allow plenty of room for outbound
vessels. When attempting a locking or docking maneuver always use prudent judgment and slow speed. Power
and speed do not correct for poor judgment . However, a slow approach can always allow you to stop the
boat and start your maneuver again. Never attempt to fend off the boat with your feet or hands. Always keep
feet and hands clear of the sides when approaching a dock or lock.
Never, ever, tie the boat while in a lock . Instead, use the lines provided along the lock wall to hold onto, or
with a short line, take a “wrap-around” a cable or ladder to keep the boat next to the lock wall.
Keys - When not in use, the engine key and front door key should be left hanging on a hook next to the front
door. To lock up the boat start at the stern hatch and work your way to the front door using the front door key to
lock yourself out. The engine key is on a separate ring and should never leave the boat.
Safe boating requires safe judgment. While we put a great amount of thought and effort into
providing you with a safe and comfortable vessel, you are the one who is responsible to your
passengers and your own safety.
One last suggestion . . . remember, you will be on a boat that moves. There are many things to hang
onto but be sure they are part of the boat and not that lunch basket you set on the roof. More than
one boater has gone overboard clutching the boat hook and some have tossed the anchor overboard
with no line tied to it.
HAPPY CANALLING!
