Watch for swimmers. Swimming areas may not be
marked. Steer clear from the area and always
remain alert.
Distress flags indicate a fellow boater is in need of
assistance.
Navigation markers serve as a means of identifying
navigable routes, and indicate water hazards. Boaters should
become familiar with navigation markers and stay within
marked boundaries and clear of hazards.
OPERATION BY MINORS
Minors must always be supervised by an adult whenever operating a boat.
Many states have laws regarding the minimum age and licensing
requirements of minors. Be sure to contact the state boating authorities for
information.
PASSENGER SAFETY
Whenever you are going for an outing, make sure that at least one
passenger is familiar with the operation and safety aspects of the boat in
case of emergency. Show all passengers the location of emergency
equipment and explain how to use it. Don’t allow passengers to drag their
feet or hands in the water, or sit on the bow, bow pulpit, deck, or gunwale
while the boat is moving.
