SAFE BOATING PRACTICES

Operator/Passenger Awareness

The watercraft operator has the re- sponsibility to inform passenger(s) of safety measures.

Never turn handlebar while some- one is nearby rear of watercraft. Keep away from steering moving parts (nozzle, side vanes, linkage, etc.).

Do not start or operate the water- craft if anyone is seated on the sun deck, if so equipped, or swim plat- form, or is nearby in the water. Wa- ter and/or debris exiting jet thrust nozzle can cause severe injury.

The operator and passenger(s) should be properly seated before starting or moving the watercraft, and at all times when watercraft is in motion. All passenger(s) should be instructed to use the handholds or seat straps provided, or in the alternative on a PWC, to hold the waist of the person in front of them.

When accelerating on a PWC with a passenger(s), whether from a com- plete stop or while underway, al- ways do so progressively. Fast ac- celeration may cause your passen- ger(s) to loose their balance or grip and fall rearward off the watercraft. Make sure that your passenger(s) know of, or anticipate, any rapid ac- celeration.

Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.

Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into water or being near jet thrust nozzle.

To prevent accidental starting, al- ways detach the DESS key from its post when swimmers are board- ing or nearby, or during removal of any weeds or debris from the intake grate.

It should be remembered that sun, wind, alcohol, drugs, fatigue and ill- ness, may impair your judgement and reaction time.

On a PWC, never place your feet and legs in the water to aid turning.

Operation by Minors

Minors should always be supervised by an adult whenever operating a wa- tercraft. Many states have laws re- garding the minimum age and licens- ing requirements of minors. Be sure to contact the state boating authorities for information. BRP recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old.

Manoeuvrability of the

Watercraft/Towing

Do not overload the watercraft or take on more passengers than des- ignated for the particular watercraft. Respect the maximum load limit rating of the ski/wakeboard post. Overloading can affect maneuver- ability, stability and performance.

Avoid adding on accessories, or equipment which may alter your control of the watercraft.

Certain PWCs may come or can be equipped with tow eyelets or a ski pole which can be used to attach a tow rope for a skier, tube or wake- boarder. Do not use these attach- ment points or any other portion of the PWC to tow a parasail or another craft. Personal injury or severe dam- age may occur.

Riding with a passenger(s) or pulling a tube, skier or wakeboarder makes the watercraft handle differently and requires greater skill.

Always respect the safety and com- fort of your passenger(s) and person being towed on skis, wakeboard or other water products.
