GENERAL INFORMATION
Protecting People In The Water
WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING
It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take
quick action to avoid a boat heading in his/her direction even at slow
speed.
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are
boating in an area where there might be people in the water.
Whenever a boat is moving (coasting) and the outboard gear shift is
in neutral position, there is sufficient force by the water on the propel-
ler to cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can
cause serious injury.
WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY
Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing
people to swim or be in the water near your boat.
WARNING
!
Stop your engine immediately whenever anyone in the water
is near your boat. Serious injury to the person in the water is
likely if contacted by a rotating propeller, a moving boat, a
moving gear case, or any solid device rigidly attached to a
moving boat or gear case.
