Section 1 • Safety

F.Grounding

In the event of running aground:

Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop the intake of water before attempting to get the boat free.

Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion and steering systems.

Determine if the tide, wind and current will drive the boat harder aground or will help to free it.

Determine the water depth all around the boat, and the type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.). If it can be done without exposing persons to a risk of injury, the boat should be moved away from hard obstructions, and toward open water with soft ground.

Do not attempt to have your boat towed by other than a trained and competent service, such as the Coast Guard or a salvage company. Recreational craft are not designed to tow other recreational craft.

G.Propulsion, Control or Steering Failure

If the drive train fails, or the controls or steering do not respond properly or at all:

Shut off engine.

Put out the anchor to prevent drifting.

Determine whether or not you can repair the problem yourself. See the proper manuals for assistance in troubleshooting the engine, steering and engine controls.

If you are not sure you can fix the problem, or if conditions are adverse, signal for help.
