SAFE Boating means:
Knowing the limitations of your boat
Following the “RULES of the ROAD”
Keeping a sharp lookout for people and objects
in the water.
Not boating in water or weather conditions that
are beyond the boat’s and operators capability.
Never operating the boat while under the
in uence of drugs or alcohol.
Being aware of your passengers safety at all
times.
Reducing speed when there is limited visibility,
rough water, people in the water nearby, boats
or structures.
In Addition:
Maintain your boat and its safety and other
systems as recommended in this manual.
Have the boat inspected by a qualified
mechanic or dealer, at least annually.
Ensure that the Coast Guard required safety
equipment is on board and functioning.
Boating in beautiful weather and calm water
conditions can be a wonderful experience. Boating
however requires considerably greater skills than
operating a land vehicle. Taking a boating course
is the best way to prepare for a safe and enjoyable
experience on the water.
Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron or
equivalent boating safety course. (Call
the Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800 336-2628
for information on available courses, or
go to: “www.boatus.com/foundation” on
the internet.)
Get hands-on training on how to operate your
boat properly.
Update checklists when equipment is added or

and other boaters.
NOTICE
How to Obtain These Skills
1-3
270 Dauntless
Section 1 • Safety
General Considerations
Know how your boat handles under different
conditions. Recognize your limitations and the
boat’s limitations. Modify speed in keeping
with weather, sea and traf c conditions.
Instruct passengers on location and use of
safety equipment and procedures.
Instruct passengers on the fundamentals of
operating your boat in case you are unable to
do so.
You are responsible for passengers actions. If
they place themselves or the boat in danger,
immediately correct them.
Remember the “Rule of Thirds”: one third
total fuel usage for the trip out; one third total
fuel sage while out; one third total fuel usage
for the return trip.
Maintain Control
On the water there are no marked traf c lanes, no
traf c signs or lights, and boats have no turn signals.
The boat operator must keep her or his attention
focused not only on what’s ahead but what’s on the
left, right and behind the boat.
The operator must always be alert to approaching
boats (from the rear, right and left sides, as well
as those ahead). There can be people in the water,
partially submerged debris, and other navigational
hazards such as rocks, sand bars or dangerous
currents, to name a few.
Your passengers are relying on you to operate and
maneuver the boat safely so that they are not in
danger of going overboard. If you turn too quickly,
increase or decrease speed abruptly, your passengers
are at risk of being thrown overboard or thrown
about the boat.
When visibility becomes impaired because of
weather, time of day or high bow angle you must
slow down so that you have suf cient time to react
if an emergency occurs. Nearby boats face similar
risks in avoiding a collision with you.
Boarding
Board only one person at a time.
Never jump into boat. Step or climb into
cockpit.
Load gear after you are aboard. Carrying
gear while boarding can cause you to lose
balance.
Distribute weight evenly.
Instruct passengers where to sit during
on-plane operation to reduce the
possibility of falling overboard during
high speed maneuvers.
If gear is not immediately needed, stow it in
secure areas.
Safety gear must be immediately accessible
at all times.
A quali ed operator must be in control of the
boat at all times. Do not operate the boat while
under the in uence of alcohol or drugs. never
operate your boat at speeds which exceed
the operator’s ability to react if an emergency
develops. At night, turn on the appropriate
navigation lights and cruise at a reduced speed
that will allow you plenty of time to avoid
dangerous situations.
!
WARNING
The detrimental effects of alcohol and drugs are
increased by wind, waves and sun, and will decrease
your response time and ability to act in critical
situations. Give special attention to the effects of
alcohol and drugs while boating. No other single
factor causes as many marine accidents and deaths.
Death or serious injury and damage to personal and
private property can result from being impaired while
operating a boat.
Impaired Operation
CONTROL HAZARD-Federal laws prohibit
operating a boat while under the in uence of
alcohol or drugs. These laws are vigorously
enforced.
!
WARNING
1-4
270 Dauntless
Section 1• Safety
STABILITY HAZARD
Load boat properly. The
manufacturer’s load rating is the
maximum allowed under normal
conditions. Adjust downward if
weather, water or other conditions
are adverse.
Allow passengers to ride only in areas
that do not pose a hazard to
themselves or the boat.
DO NOT allow passengers to ride on
the bow of a closed bow boat.
DO NOT allow several passengers to
ride in the bow of a small open-bow
boat, causing the boat to “plow” into
the water.
DO NOT allow passengers to ride on
the stern cushion or gunwales.
DO NOT overload the stern.
Observe manufacturer’s
recommended on-plane seating
locations.
Passengers should remain seated
while boat is moving.
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD-Stay alert. Use of
drugs, alcohol, or other substances which impair
judgement poses a serious threat to yourself
and others. The boat operator is responsible for
the behavior of passengers.
DROWNING HAZARD-Boats must carry one
wearable personal otation device (PFD) for
every passenger on board. Boats must have at
least one throwable life preserver.
SLIPPING HAZARD-Wet decks are slippery.
Wear proper footwear and use extreme caution
on wet surfaces.
!
WARNING
Death or serious injury can result if you fail to
observe these safety rules:
Anyone who controls the boat should
have taken a boating safety course and
have trained in the proper operation of
the boat.
Always operate the boat at speeds that
will not put people or property in
danger.
Be constantly aware of conditions in
all directions when underway and
before turning.
Reduce speed, use a lookout to
identify possible hazards or dif culties,
and turn on navigation lights when:
- visibility is impaired;
- in rough water; and
- in congested waterways.
Watch your wake. It can capsize a
small boat or damage moored boats or
other property. You are responsible for
damage caused by your wake.
!
WARNING
NEVER operate a boat at a speed at which you
do not feel in control.
