•
Never allow water to overflow the bow or gunwales of
the watercraft.
•
Uneven weight distribution or additional weight may
affect the handling of the watercraft.
Carbon Monoxide: The exhaust from the engine on a watercraft
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is a colorless, odorless and
poisonous gas. Excessive exposure to CO can cause severe injury
or death. Follow this advice to avoid injury.
•
Never “Platform Drag” by holding onto the boarding
platform or be dragged directly behind the watercraft.
This is where CO will be.
•
Do not sit on the watercraft transom or boarding
platform while the engine is running.
•
Make sure the engine is properly tuned and running
well. An improperly tuned engine produces excessive
exhaust and CO.
•
If you smell engine exhaust do not stay in that position.
•
Go to the United States Coast Guard’s website:
www.uscgboating.org for more information on how to
help protect yourself and others from the dangers of
CO.
Tow Ropes: Tow ropes come in different lengths and strengths for
different activities. Make sure any rope you are using is suited for
skiing or riding and that it is in good condition.
•
Never use a rope that is frayed, knotted, unraveling or
discolored from use or being left in the sun. If a rope
breaks while in use it can recoil at the skier/rider being
towed or into the watercraft where it might strike
passengers. Replace tow ropes with any sign of
damage.
