RUNNING AGROUND OR
STRIKING UNDERWATER
OBJECTS
Ascertain whether there is damage to the hull. If water can be
stopped from entering the boat, cautiously return to dock. Have
the boat checked out by your authorized MasterCraft dealer to be
certain that the hull has not been weakened. Even if water does not
intrude initially, difficulties may occur later.
If water is entering the boat after running aground or striking an
underwater object, call or signal for assistance. Abandon ship, if
necessary. Do not attempt to out-run a significant leak to shore as it
can be difficult to estimate how long it will take for enough water to
intrude and sink the boat.
INWATER ACTIVITIES SAFETY
Individuals in the water are obligated to be as aware of the funda-
mental safety rules as operators. If you are new to water sports,
you should seek certified training before starting. You may find it
especially helpful to join a local water-sports club, if available, and
the U.S.W.S.A. (United States Water Skiing Association).
• Always remember that the majority of in-water injuries are the
result of impacts with other objects, so always look where you are
going and be aware of what is going on around you.
PROPELLER(S) MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Shut off the engine(s) when near persons in the water, prior
to using sunpads, swim platform or boarding ladder.
• Never put your arm, head or any other part of your body through
the handle/bridle of the ski or wakeboarding line, nor wrap the line
around any part of the body at any time.
• Never ski, wakeboard, wake surf or engage in tubing at night.
• Never ski, wakeboard, wake surf or engage in tubing directly in
front of other boats.
