Boating Safety
Correct Craft, Inc. boat has a required capacity label displaying the maximum weight of people, gear and ballast that can be placed in the boat. Always be aware of the load in your boat and do not load the boat in excess of the listed capacity. The quest for the "phattest" wake has caused some to excessively overload their boats. Overloading the boat will affect the operation and, possibly result in injury to persons inside and/or outside of the boat.
Passenger Safety and
Seating
Make sure that at least one passenger is familiar with the operation and safety aspects of the boat in case of an emergency. Show all passengers the location of emergency equipment and explain how to use it.
The operator of the boat is responsible for the safety of the passengers as well as his/her own safety. The operator should ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated in appropriate seating locations before starting.
While the engine is running, and during the boat mooring, all occupants should be properly seated. DO NOT sit on the engine box, seat backs, boarding platform or gunnels. You could fall overboard and be hit by the propeller. DO NOT allow objects, arms or legs, or any other body parts to hang over the bow or gunnels.
DO NOT stand while the boat is moving.
The operator MUST sit in the driver’s seat while the boat is moving and all passengers remain properly seated.
Visibility
!WARNING Obstructed visibility can cause death or serious injury. Maintain clear visibility at all times. Arrange passengers and equipment for maximum visibility or designate a passenger to assist when visibility is limited.
