recommended by a Buster dealership. Alterations that affect the
safety characteristics of a Buster boat can be carried out only
with the written approval of the manufacturer, who cannot be held
responsible for changes to the boat that it has not approved.
In some countries driving a boat requires a licence or some other
authorisation to drive a boat. Country-specific regulations may
also be in force.
Always maintain your boat in good condition and bear in mind the
consequences of wear resulting from ageing, rough treatment
and improper use. Any boat, no matter how strong, can be sig-
nificantly damaged by improper use. Inappropriate boating habits
are unsafe and are out of keeping with good seamanship. Always
adapt the speed and course of your boat in relation to the condi-
tions at sea.
If your boat is equipped with a life-raft, read its operating instruc-
tions thoroughly. The boat should have on-board safety equip-
ment (life-jackets, safety harnesses, etc.) appropriate to the boat
type, weather conditions, etc. In some countries such equipment
is mandatory. The crew must be familiar with the operation of all
safety equipment and emergency manoeuvres (rescuing a man
overboard, towing, etc.). Rescue exercises are regularly organ-
ised by boating schools and clubs.
Every person on board must use an appropriate flotation aid
(such as a life-jacket or vest) while on deck. Note that in some
countries the law requires flotation aids to be used at all times
while on board.
