Motor Safety and Reboarding
Spinning propellers and carbon monoxide produced by gas engines can cause serious injury or death.
• Do not approach a running motor from the water.
• If you or a passenger falls overboard, do not attempt to reboard in the motor mount area. A grab line is
provided on the sides and front for reboarding.
• Turn engine o at a safe distance when approaching a swimmer in the water.
• A propeller safety guard is recommended for gas motors.
If the motor is equipped with an engine safety kill switch, the driver must attach the cable to themselves,
either around the thigh or wrist, or to clothing (preferably a life jacket). In addition:
• Test regularly to ensure that the engine stops when the kill cord is pulled from the switch.
• Make sure that the kill cord is in good condition.
• Always attach the kill cord securely to the driver, ideally before the engine is started, but certainly before
the boat is put in gear.
• Stop the engine before transferring the kill cord to another driver.
• Wireless kill switches are available and each passenger can wear one.
Boating is challenging and inherently dangerous. Follow safe boating practices, be physically t enough to
meet the challenges, prepare for any weather conditions that might be anticipated, and follow the Sea Eagle
Boating Safety Basics.
