Safe Boating Suggestions
In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local
and other governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and
consider the following suggestions.
Use flotation devices. Have an approved personal flotation device
of suitable size for each person aboard (it is the law) and have it
readily accessible.
Do not overload your boat. Most boats are rated and certified for
maximum load (weight) capacities (refer to your boat capacity plate).
If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boats manufacturer.
Perform safety checks and required maintenance. Follow a regu-
lar schedule and ensure that all repairs are properly made.
