WATERCRAFT SAFETY: A knowledgeable and responsible driver is the most important safety device on

any watercraft.

• Never operate a watercraft or ride under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

• Only use water ballast and people for additional weight.

• Never exceed the passenger or weight limitations of the watercraft.

• Never allow passengers to hang outside the watercraft or towed device or sit on the gunwales or

anywhere outside of the normal seating area.

• Never allow water to overow the bow or gunwales of the watercraft.

• Uneven weight distribution or additional weight may aﬀect the handling of the watercraft.

CARBON MONOXIDE: The exhaust from the engine on a watercraft contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)

which is a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas. Excessive exposure to CO can cause severe injury or

death. Follow this advice to avoid injury.

• Never “Platform Drag” by holding onto the boarding platform or be dragged directly behind the watercraft.

This is where CO will be.

• Do not sit on the watercraft transom or boarding platform while the engine is running.

• Make sure the engine is properly tuned and running well. An improperly tuned engine produces excessive

exhaust and CO.

• If you smell engine exhaust do not stay in that position.

• Go to the United States Coast Guard’s website: www.uscgboating.org for more information on how to help

protect yourself and others from the dangers of CO.

TOW ROPES: Tow ropes come in dierent lengths and strengths for dierent activities.

Make sure any rope you are using is suited for riding and that it is in good condition.

• Never use a rope that is frayed, knotted, unraveling or discolored from use or being left in the sun.

If a rope breaks while in use it can recoil at the rider being towed or into the watercraft where it might

strike passengers. Replace tow ropes with any sign of damage.

• Never use a tow rope with elastic or bungee material to pull riders.

• Rope should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed for towing.

Refer to your Boat User’s manual for instructions on proper tow rope attachment for each watersports

activity.

• Always keep people and tow ropes away from the propeller, even when idling.

• If a tow rope should become entangled in a propeller, shut oﬀ engine, remove the key and put it in your

pocket before retrieving the rope.

• Tow ropes should be neatly stowed in the boat when not in use.

PREPARING TO RIDE: Always have a person other than the driver as an observer to look out for the rider.

• Be sure the driver is aware of the experience and ability level of the rider.

• The driver, observer and rider need to agree on hand signals before riding.

Signals should include READY, STOP, SPEED UP, and SLOW DOWN.

• Start the engine only after making sure that no one in the water is near the propeller.

• Turn the engine o when people are getting into or out of the watercraft, or in the water near the

watercraft.

• Always make sure the tow rope is not wrapped around anyone’s hands, arms, legs, or other parts of the body.
