For Emergency cases
Safe operation and maneuverability
For safety reasons and proper care, perform daily PRE-RIDE
INSPECTION as specied in BRP Operators Manual before
operating your boat.
Please consider the following recommendations:
• Load the boat within the limits listed on the capacity plate.
Balance loads bow to stern and port to starboard.
• Maintain boat speed at or below the local legal limit.
Avoid excessive speed.
• Reduce speed before attempting sudden or sharp turns,
and maintain a proper speed according to water conditions
and environment at all times. Maneuverability at high speed
is limited, and sudden turns may cause loss of boat control.
• Keep proper lookout and a safe distance all the time to
avoid collisions or accidents.
• Do not use the boat in adverse weather or waterway
conditions beyond the skill or experience of the operator or
beyond the capability of the boat and comfort of passengers.
• In case of emergency, be sure at least one member of the
crew or passengers is familiar with the operation and safety
aspects of the boat.
