GENERAL INFORMATION
12
Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to swim or be in the water near
your boat.
Passenger Safety Message - Pontoon Boats And Deck Boats
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all passengers. Do not allow any passengers to
stand or use seats other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed. A sudden reduction
in boat speed, such as plunging into a large wave or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp change
of boat direction, could throw them over the front of the boat. Falling over the front of the boat between
the two pontoons will position them to be run over by the outboard.
BOATS HAVING AN OPEN FRONT DECK
No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the boat is in motion. Keep all passengers
behind the front fence or enclosure.
Persons on the front deck could easily be thrown overboard or persons dangling their feet over the front
edge could get their legs caught by a wave and pulled into the water.
!
WARNING
Sitting or standing in an area of the boat not designed for passengers at speeds above idle can cause
serious injury or death. Stay back from the front end of deck boats or raised platforms and remain
seated while the boat is in motion.
BOATS WITH FRONT MOUNTED, RAISED PEDESTAL FISHING SEATS
Elevated fishing seats are not intended for use when the boat is traveling faster than idle or trolling speed.
Sit only in seats designated for traveling at faster speeds.
Any unexpected, sudden reduction in boat speed could result in the elevated passenger falling over the
front of the boat.
