GENERAL INFORMATION

Boater's Responsibilities

The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation

of the boat and safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly

recommended that each operator (driver) read and understand this

entire manual before operating the trolling motor.

Be sure at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basic

operation of the trolling motor in case the driver is unable to operate the

boat.

Protecting People in the Water

WHILE YOU ARE TROLLING

It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to avoid

a boat heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.

21604

Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are

boating in an area where there might be people in the water.

WHILE THE BOAT IS STATIONARY

! WARNING

A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to

the boat can cause serious injury or death to swimmers. Stop the

trolling motor immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your

boat.

Shut off the trolling motor before allowing people to swim or be in the

water near your boat.

Passenger Safety Message

Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all

passengers. A sudden reduction in boat speed, such as a sharp change

of boat direction, could throw them off the boat.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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. It is the law to have an approved personal flotation

device of suitable size for each person aboard 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 boat's manufacturer.

Perform safety checks and required maintenance. Follow a regular

schedule and ensure all repairs are made properly.

Never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while boating (it is the

law). Alcohol or drug use impairs your judgment and greatly reduces

your ability to react quickly.

Passenger boarding. Stop the trolling motor whenever passengers are

boarding or unloading.

Be alert. The operator of the boat is responsible by law to maintain a

proper lookout by sight and hearing. The operator must have an

unobstructed view particularly to the front. No passengers, load, or

fishing seats should block the operators view when operating the boat.

Underwater hazards. Reduce speed and proceed with caution

whenever navigating in shallow water.

Tripping hazards. To avoid a trip hazard, route all cables and wiring

neatly and out of the way.

Report accidents. Boat operators are required by law to file a Boating

Accident Report with their state boating law enforcement agency when

their boat is involved in certain boating accidents. A boating accident

must be reported if 1) there is loss of life or probable loss of life, 2) there

is personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, 3) there

is damage to boats or other property where the damage value exceeds

$500.00 or 4) there is complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance

from local law enforcement.
