•
Never use a tow rope with elastic or bungee material
to pull skiers or riders.
•
Rope should be attached to the watercraft in an
approved fashion with hardware designed for towing.
Refer to your watercraft manual for instructions on
proper tow rope attachment.
•
Always keep people and tow ropes away from the
propeller, even when idling.
•
If a tow rope should become entangled in a propeller,
shut off engine, remove the key and put it in your
pocket before retrieving the rope.
•
Tow ropes should be neatly stowed in the boat when
not in use.
Preparing to ski or ride: Always have a person other than the
driver as an observer to look out for the skier/rider.
•
Be sure the driver is aware of the experience and
ability level of the skier/rider.
•
The driver, observer and skier/ rider need to agree on
hand signals before skiing or riding. Signals should
include READY, STOP, SPEED UP, and SLOW DOWN.
•
Start the engine only after making sure that no one in
the water is near the propeller.
•
Turn the engine off when people are getting into or
out of the watercraft, or in the water near the
watercraft.
•
Always make sure the tow rope is not wrapped around
anyone’s hands, arms, legs, or other parts of the body.
•
Start the watercraft and move slowly to remove slack
until the tow rope is tight.
