GENERAL INFORMATION
18
Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing
people to swim or be in the water near your boat.
Passenger Safety Message ‑ Pontoon Boats and
Deck Boats
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all
passengers. Do not allow any passengers to stand or use seats
other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed. A
sudden reduction in boat speed, such as plunging into a large wave
or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp change of boat
direction, could throw them over the front of the boat. Falling over
the front of the boat between the two pontoons will position them
to be run over by the outboard.
BOATS HAVING AN OPEN FRONT DECK
No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the
boat is in motion. Keep all passengers behind the front fence or
enclosure.
Persons on the front deck could easily be thrown overboard or
persons dangling their feet over the front edge could get their legs
caught by a wave and pulled into the water.
!
WARNING
Sitting or standing in an area of the boat not designed for
passengers at speeds above idle can cause serious injury or
death. Stay back from the front end of deck boats or raised
platforms and remain seated while the boat is in motion.
