GENERAL INFORMATION
34 eng
The operator of the boat is responsible by law to maintain a proper
lookout by sight and hearing. The operator must have an unobstructed
view particularly to the front. No passengers, load, or fishing seats should
block the operator's view when the boat is above idle or planing transition
speed. Watch out for others, the water, and your wake.
Never drive your boat directly behind a water skier.
Your boat traveling at 40 km/h (25 mph) will overtake a fallen skier who is
61 m (200 ft) in front of you in five seconds.
Watch fallen skiers.
When using your boat for waterskiing or similar activities, always keep a
fallen or down skier on the operator's side of the boat while returning to
attend to the skier. The operator should always have the down skier in
sight and never back up to the skier or anyone in the water.
Report accidents.
Boat operators are required by law to file a boating accident report with
their state boating law enforcement agency when their boat is involved in
certain boating accidents. A boating accident must be reported if 1) there
is loss of life or probable loss of life, 2) there is personal injury requiring
medical treatment beyond first aid, 3) there is damage to boats or other
property where the damage value exceeds $500.00, or 4) there is
complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local law
enforcement.
