Using Your Duras
®
Inflatable Boat
1. Rowing
Duras Inflatable Boats are equipped with oars and oar locks as standard
equipment. The oars can be attached to swiveling oarlocks which allow for
easy rowing.
2. Motoring & Safety
All boats have their own unique handling characteristics, so take time to
familiarize yourself with how your boat maneuvers in various conditions.
Basic seamanship is beyond the scope of this owner's manual, but we would
like to go over a few fundamentals.
• It is your responsibility to be aware of and comply with all relevant
safety regulations.
• In all water sports, you should have reasonable swimming ability.
• Always respect the sea and the weather, as both can change rapidly
and have surprised even the most seasoned mariners.
• Always carry enough Personal Flotation Devices.
• Always use U.S. Coast Guard or C.E. approved life jackets, as this
is your assurance that the life jackets can provide sufficient
buoyancy in the water.
• We strongly suggest that all boaters enroll in one of the excellent
water safety courses offered by the Power Squadron or Coast
Guard Auxiliary.
