BOATING WITH PASSENGERS
When one or more passengers are on
board, the boat may handle differently,
so operating it requires a higher degree
of skill.
Remember: Your Jet Boat is designed
for one operator and up to six passen-
gers only. Never have more than seven
people in the Jet Boat. Passengers
should sit so the weight in the boat is
balanced from side to side and bow to
stern as much as possible. If the pas-
senger seat in front of the helm is used,
be sure the operator’s view ahead is
not obstructed.
Passengers must sit in one of the seats
and hold onto the grips while putting
both feet on the deck.
When passengers are on board,
make sure they are seated and hold-
ing on before you start to acceler-
ate. An unprepared passenger could
lose balance and fall.
BOARDING FROM THE WATER
Strong streams of water from the jet
nozzles can be dangerous, and can
result in serious injury when directed
at body orifices (rectum and vagina).
● Do not board from the rear, use
swim platform, or swim behind
boat if engines are running.
● Stay away from the back of the
boat when engines are running.
1) Be sure engines are off, then move
to the stern of the boat. Put a foot on
the fold-down rear boarding step
and grab the boarding handles in
the swim platform.
2) Climb up onto the swim platform,
then climb over the engine hatch
and sit in one of the seats provided.
Do not use control levers as grab
handles because damage can occur.
