Boater's Responsibilities
The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation
of the boat and safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly
recommended that each operator (driver) read and understand this
entire manual before operating the trolling motor.
Be sure at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basic
operation of the trolling motor in case the driver is unable to operate the
boat.
Protecting People in the Water
WHILE YOU ARE TROLLING
It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to avoid
a boat heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are
boating in an area where there might be people in the water.
WHILE THE BOAT IS STATIONARY
!
WARNING
A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to
the boat can cause serious injury or death to swimmers. Stop the
trolling motor immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your
boat.
Shut off the trolling motor before allowing people to swim or be in the
water near your boat.
Passenger Safety Message
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all
passengers. A sudden reduction in boat speed, such as a sharp change
of boat direction, could throw them off the boat.
