Section 1 • Safety

SAFE boating means:

Knowing the limitations of your boat

Following the "Rules of the Road"

Keeping a sharp lookout for people and objects in the water

Not boating in water or weather conditions that are beyond the boat's and the operator's capability

Never boating when the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Being aware of your passenger's safety at all times

Reducing speed when there is limited visibility, rough water, and nearby people in the water, boats, or structures

Boating in beautiful weather and calm water conditions can be a wonderful experience. Pleasurable boating, however, requires considerably greater skills than operating a land vehicle. To obtain these skills, you must:

Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron or equivalent boating safety course. Call the Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628 for information on available courses.

Get hands-on training on how to operate your boat properly.

In addition:

Maintain your boat and its safety and other systems as recommended in this manual.

Have the boat inspected by a qualified mechanic or dealer, at least annually.

Ensure that the Coast Guard required safety equipment is on board and functions properly. (See page 1.2)

1.Safety Labels

Safety precautions are given throughout this manual and labels are mounted at key locations throughout the boat. This safety information advises the owner/operator and passengers of imperative safety precautions to follow when operating and/or servicing equipment.

Do not remove or obstruct any safety label.

Replace any label which becomes illegible. Replacement safety labels can be obtained by calling your dealer or Baja Marine at 1-865-971- 6270.

The meanings associated with each of the four basic types of labels are:

!DANGER

DANGER - Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored.

!WARNING

WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored.

!CAUTION

CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor or moderate injury if the warning is ignored.
