UNDERWAY
Do you have navigation charts and equipment on
board? Are you familiar with area where you will be
boating?
Do passengers and crew know what to do in an
emergency? Do they know how to use safety
equipment?
Do you have an emergency supply of food and
water?
Do you have all required documents on board?
Have you told a responsible party ashore where
you are going and when you expect to return?
This chapter provides basic information for a typical
boating excursion. All boaters are responsible for their own
safety and the safety of others. Even though you may be
an experienced operator, you can still benefit from
reviewing the boating principles discussed in this chapter.
Before you get underway, make sure you are familiar with
local and governmental boating regulations and
restrictions.
NOTE: This chapter may refer to equipment and
components that are standard on some models and
optional or unavailable on other models.
WARNING MARKERS
Always check with local authorities concerning regional
hazardous areas and how they are marked. Other
considerations include:
• Boat operators must be able to recognize marine flag
designs and respond accordingly.
• Caution should always be exercised relative to
swimmers. Swimming areas may not always be
marked.
• Navigation markers identify navigable routes and
indicate water hazards. Boat operators should
familiarize themselves with these important
navigational tools and operate their boats accordingly.
