In the event of running aground:
• Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop the intake
of water before attempting to get the boat free.
• Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion and
steering systems.
• Determine if the tide, wind and current will drive the
boat harder aground or will help to free it.
• Determine the water depth all around the boat,
and the type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.). If
it can be done without exposing persons to a risk
of injury, the boat should be moved away from
hard obstructions, and toward open water with soft
ground.
• Do not attempt to have your boat towed by other than
a trained and competent service, such as the Coast
Guard or a salvage company. Recreational craft are
not designed to tow other recreational craft.

If the drive train fails, or the controls or steering do
not respond properly or at all:
• Shut off engine.
• Put out the anchor to prevent drifting.
• Determine whether or not you can repair the problem
yourself. See the proper manuals for assistance
in troubleshooting the engine, steering and engine
controls.
• If you are not sure you can x the problem, or if
conditions are adverse, signal for help.
