Failure to adhere to these precautions may result in severe injury
or death to you and/or others.
• Improper operation is extremely dangerous. Operators must read
and understand all operating manuals supplied with the boat
before operation.
• Remain seated at all times while the boat is in motion.
• Never stand or allow passengers to stand while the boat is moving.
You or others may be thrown from the boat.
• Children in the bow of the boat should be accompanied by an
adult at all times.
• Never operate the boat while under the inuence of alcohol or
drugs.
• On-board equipment must always conform to the governing
federal, state, and local regulations.
• Gasoline vapors can explode. Before starting engine, open engine
box, check engine compartment for gasoline vapors, and operate
blower for at least four minutes. Run blower below cruising speed.
• Leaking fuel is a re and explosion hazard. Inspect system regularly.
Examine fuel tanks for leaks or corrosion at least annually.
• Never override or modify the engine safety shut-o switch or
engine neutral starting safety switch in any way.
• Never remove or modify components of the fuel system in any way
except for maintenance by qualied personnel. Tampering with
fuel components may cause a hazardous condition.
A smart owner will avoid potential problems on an outing by
having additional equipment on board. Normally, this equipment is
dependent on the body of water and the length of the trip.
We suggest the following—as a minimum. Your Supra dealer can also
assist you with additional recommendations.
• An anchor with at least 75 feet of line
• A manual bailing device for removing water
• A combination oar/boat hook
• A day-and-night visual distress signal
• A rst aid kit and manual
• An airway breathing tube
• A waterproof ashlight
• A set of local navigation charts
• Mooring lines and fenders
• Extra engine oil
• A tool kit
• A portable AM/FM radio or weather radio
• VHF hand held marine radio
• Cell Phone
Boating-related accidents are generally caused by the operator’s failure
to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Most accidents
can be avoided if the operator is completely familiar with the boat, its
operation, and can recognize potentially hazardous situations before
an accident occurs.
