ACCOMODATION DECK
(DECK AREA INTENDED FOR
OCCUPATION DURING NORMAL
OPERATION)
must be holding on and be positioned so as to
prevent falling. In bad weather and/or rough
water, if it is essential to be on deck, persons
should be closely tied to cleats, railing
stanchions or other securely fastened boat
hardware.
3. Engines must be turned off if the boat is near
swimmers or persons are on the swim platform
or the swim ladder.
3. PROPULSION SYSTEM
Your boat is equipped with a stern drive
propulsion system also known as an inboard-
outboard engine (Figure 2.3.2). This type of
propulsion system has the engine inside the boat
secured to the hull’s stringers at the rear end of
the hull. The stern drive unit, also called the lower
unit because it hangs below the hull, is part of
the propulsion system that attaches to the
outside of the hull or transom. The stern drive
unit pivots to steer the boat.
Rotating propellers can injure or
kill you.
Shut off engine when persons
are in water, near boat, on swim
platform or ladder.
! DANGER
Wet decks are slippery.
You can be seriously injured if
you slip and fall.
Wear slip resistant footwear
secured to your feet and hold
on to rails or boat structure.
