11.4 Operating Your Boat

After Starting the Engines

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE ENGINES

WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARM-

FUL TO YOUR HEALTH.

• Visibly check the engines to be sure there are no apparent water, fuel or oil leaks.

• Check the operation of the engine cooling systems.

• Check the engine gauges. Make sure they are reading normally.

• Check the controls and steering for smooth and proper operation.

• Make sure all lines, cables, anchors, etc. for securing a boat are on board and in good

condition. All lines should be coiled, secured and off the decks when underway.

• Have a safe cruise and enjoy yourself.

Remember

When you operate a boat, you accept the responsibility for the boat, for the safety of passengers

and for others out enjoying the water.

• Alcohol and any drugs can severely reduce your reaction time and affect your better

judgment.

• Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to several different signals at once.

• Alcohol makes it difficult to correctly judge speed and distance, or track moving objects.

• Alcohol reduces night vision, and the ability to distinguish red from green.

YOU SHOULD NEVER OPERATE YOUR BOAT WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS.

• Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the skill and experience of you and your crew.
