Boating Safety
Important Safety Information!
Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around
you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain
your boat. Read and comprehend this manual. Make
sure that you understand all the controls and operating
instructions before attempting to operate the boat.
Improper operation is extremely dangerous.
The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the
manual. Additional precautions throughout the manual
are noted by the following symbols:
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
circumstance, which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This is limited to the most extreme situations.
The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat
are not exhaustive. If a procedure, method, tool or
part is not specifically recommended by Skier’s
Choice, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for
you and others, and that the boat will not be damaged
or made unsafe as a result of your decision.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN
OPERATING, SERVICING OR REPAIRING THE BOAT!
In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe safety
recommendations may result in severe personal injury or
death to you or to others. Use caution and common sense
when operating your boat. Don’t take unnecessary
chances!
Be certain that all boat passengers are aware of this
information and conform to boat safety principles.
Safe Boating
Safe boating practices may seem obvious, but people have
thought up risky and dangerous activities in boats, with
boats, and behind boats. Just because you or your
passengers have seen a boating maneuver performed or
have seen a particular activity promoted, do not assume
there is no risk of injury or death. Before you or your
passengers go out in the boat and engage in any water
sport activity, give careful consideration to the risks. Plan
ahead. Think twice before you try something new behind
your boat or with your boat. Know the limits of you, your
passengers and your equipment and do not exceed them.
In addition to careful review of this manual, you should be
aware as well that there are many sources of information
available. Skier’s Choice urges you to pursue additional
training, such as safety and seamanship courses offered
by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power
Squadron.
Safe boating and safe actions may seem obvious, yet
every year US Coast Guard statistics give evidence that
many people disregard safe boating practices. Do not take
safety for granted. Think twice. We want all our boat owners
and their passengers, friends, and families to have a safe
and enjoyable experience on the water.
