Limitations on who may
operate the watercraft
● Yamaha recommends a minimum operator
age of 16 years old.
Adults must supervise use by minors.
Know the operator age and training require-
ments for your state. A boating safety
course is recommended and may be re-
quired in your state. You can find local rules
by contacting the United States Coast
Guard (USCG), the National Association of
State Boating Law Administrators, or your
local Power Squadron.
● This watercraft is designed to carry the op-
erator only. Never have more than one per-

Cruising limitations
● Scan constantly for people, objects, and
other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that
limit your visibility or block your vision of
others.
● Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people, ob-

● Do not follow directly behind watercraft or
other boats.
● Do not go near others to spray or splash
them with water.
● Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that
make it hard for others to avoid you or un-
derstand where you are going.
● Avoid areas with submerged objects or
shallow water.
● Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-

● Do not release the throttle lever when trying
to steer away from objects—you need throt-

● Ride within your limits and avoid aggressive
maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of con-
trol, ejection, and collision.
● This is a high performance boat—not a toy.
