There are many things to consider to make your boating trip safe and
enjoyable. This section includes a safety checklist, boarding guide-
lines, boat loading, and capacity information.
The contents of this section should be read and understood before
casting off. Remember, if you have a problem during your cruise, you
can’t get out and fix it, or walk to safety or for help.
You are responsible for the safety of all passengers, the boat, and
any damage the boat or its wake may cause. Always keep passen-
gers from blocking your view so that you do not run into other boats,
swimmers, water skiers, personal water vehicles, or aids to naviga-
tion.
SAFETY CHECKLIST
The following checks are essential to safe boating and must be per-
formed before starting the engine. Get in the habit of performing
these checks in the same order each time so that it becomes routine.

during the outing causing severe injury or death. Have
any problem attended to immediately; see your dealer.
