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

The operator of the boat is responsible by law to "maintain a proper

lookout by sight and hearing." The operator must ensure that

he/she has an unobstructed view particularly to the front. No

passengers or equipment should block the operator’s view.

Look carefully before turning, especially when you are turning

around to pick up a fallen skier. Someone else may not be following

the “Rules of the Road.”

Boating Safety

Sport

Clear visibility must be maintained at all

times. If necessary, arrange passengers and equipment

for maximum visibility. Designate a passenger to assist

when visibility is limited due to operating conditions.
