of or holding on to the swim platform structure or hardware.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
Fishing
Most boaters sh from time to time. With the
propulsion systems of today it is possible to sh
in out-of-the-way places. When cruising, stay
clear of sherman. They may have lines or nets
out which might be cut or get caught in your
propeller if you come too close. Slow down when
approaching shing boats.
Do not return to cruising speed until the boats
have been passed. If a shing boat should be anchored, a large wake
could ip or swamp the boat, upset shing gear, pull the anchor loose
from the bottom or worse yet cause someone to fall overboard.
When shing from your boat, never anchor in shipping channel or tie
up to any navigational aids. These must be kept clear of at all times.
Be sure to carry a chart of the area and be on the lookout for shallow
water and hidden obstructions. Pick up a local tidal chart if appropriate
so you do not end up grounded.
Remember, the skipper is responsible for any damage caused
by his wake. Use common sense and be a responsible captain!
