Hazardous Conditions
Changing conditions on any body of water can present a unique danger
to you and your boat. Hazards such as underwater stumps, unexpected
sandbars, or shallow water should be avoided. If you are unfamiliar with
the waters, discuss potential hazards with other boaters who are familiar
with the area. Then proceed with caution.
Always check the weather before boating, and postpone your trip if
hazardous weather conditions are predicted. While on your boat,
continue to check the weather periodically.
Manitou is not responsible for any damage or personal injury that may
occur while using your boat in hazardous boating conditions, including,
but not limited to, damage caused by stumps, sandbars, shallow waters,
wave swells, and similar conditions.
If you should damage your boat because of any
hazardous condition, take your boat to a qualified
Manitou dealer and have it inspected. Do not
continue to use your boat until it has been
inspected.
