© 2018 Manitou Pontoon Boats
Read, understand, and follow the capacity
information for your boat. The maximum capacity
plate is located on the captain’s stand.
Boarding
Require that your passengers board the boat in an orderly and careful
manner, one person at a time. Prohibit jumping into the boat or entering
by climbing onto the pontoon tubes. Always use a boarding ladder when
entering or exiting from the water.
Review the following safety rules with your passengers. Note that while
your boat’s floorplan may differ from that shown in the following
diagram, the same safety rules apply.
Do not sit
on the
bow with
legs or
arms
hanging
from the
boat.
Do not sit
in the
back entry
area while
the boat is
moving.
Do not sit on the fishing
seats while the boat is
moving faster than 5
MPH.
Do not sit on the rails
or furniture backs.
Do not ride on the
sundeck pads while
boat is moving.
Stowing Onboard Gear
Your boat has been designed to accommodate storage of gear and
belongings. To avoid loss overboard, tripping and falling hazards, or
problems with boat operation, loose items should be stowed in the boat’s
storage compartments before your departure from the shore or dock.
When loading large or awkwardly shaped items onto your boat, do not
attempt to carry them on board yourself. Instead, pass the object to a
person who is already on the boat. Do the same when unloading your
boat.
