Chris-Craft 2–1
CHAPTER 2 Safety and Operations
As the owner/operator of your Chris-Craft, it is your responsibility to be safety conscious at all times.
This includes, but is not limited to:
• Know and understand the limitations of both yourself and your vessel.
• Understand and follow the “
rules of the road.”
• Understand the potential hazards of boating.
• Deliberately stay out of weather conditions that exceed the operator’s capability.
• Keeping your passenger’s safety in mind at all times.
• Operate the vessel in a proper manner when encountering limited visibility, rough water, and other weather or
people induced factors.
• Understanding how to administer first aid, including CPR.
• Know how to treat hypothermia.
• Be ready for emergencies.
This chapter addresses numerous safety and responsibility topics which you need to be familiar with. It is
not all-inclusive, but rather provides a starting point for your boating knowledge.
There are numerous WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES presented in this manual and the manufac-
turers’ supplied literature.
As the owner/operator, it is your responsibility to replace any label that becomes illegible. Replacement
labels may be obtained from Chris-Craft.
