Important Safety Information!

Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your boat. Read and comprehend this manual. Make sure that you understand all the controls and operating instructions before attempting to operate the boat. Improper operation is extremely dangerous.

The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the manual. Additional precautions throughout the manual are noted by the following symbols:

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous circumstance, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This is limited to the most extreme situations.

The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat are not exhaustive. If a procedure, method, tool or part is not specifically recommended by Skier’s Choice, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others, and that the boat will not be damaged or made unsafe as a result of your decision.

REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING, SERVICING OR REPAIRING THE BOAT!

In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe safety recommendations may result in severe personal injury or death to you or to others. Use caution and common sense when operating your boat. Don’t take unnecessary chances!

Be certain that all boat passengers are aware of this information and conform to boat safety principles.

Section II

Boating Safety

Safe Boating

Safe boating practices may seem obvious, but people have thought up risky and dangerous activities in boats, with boats, and behind boats. Just because you or your passengers have seen a boating maneuver performed or have seen a particular activity promoted, do not assume there is no risk of injury or death. Before you or your passengers go out in the boat and engage in any water sport activity, give careful consideration to the risks. Plan ahead. Think twice before you try something new behind your boat or with your boat. Know the limits of you, your passengers and your equipment and do not exceed them.

In addition to careful review of this manual, you should be aware as well that there are many sources of information available. Skier’s Choice urges you to pursue additional training, such as safety and seamanship courses offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power Squadron.

Safe boating and safe actions may seem obvious, yet every year US Coast Guard statistics give evidence that many people disregard safe boating practices. Do not take safety for granted. Think twice. We want all our boat owners and their passengers, friends, and families to have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.
