CHAPTER 1
You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal fl otation
device (PFD) for every person on board. These PFD’s should
be in good condition and easily accessible.
Insist that non-swimmers and children on board wear a PFD at all
times. Any time you encounter rough weather conditions, make
sure everyone on board is wearing a PFD, including yourself. Instruct
your passengers in how to put on their PFDs and be sure they know
their storage location on the boat. Remember, in an emergency, a PFD
that cannot be quickly located and worn is useless.
Never allow anyone to sit anywhere on the boat not specifi cally
designed a seat. While underway, ALWAYS insist passengers remain
seated.
Use maximum caution when fueling. Never allow any smoke
or fl ame nearby while you are fueling. ALWAYS check for
fuel leaks and fumes when fueling is completed.
