Hazardous Operations
There are a number of situations which
can result in peril for boats and persons on-
board. Among these is boating too close
to dam spillways, where turbulence and
strong currents can result in loss of control
of the vessel. These areas as well as other
hazardous areas are usually marked. Do
NOT ignore such markers.
Additionally, there may be potentially
hazardous situations that can adversely af-
fect boating. These include weather con-
ditions (addressed later in this chapter),
operating in shallow water where naviga-
tional parts of the boat may be damaged,
or boating in bodies of water that include
weeds and other growth that can foul the
boat operations. These ora can foul your
boat engine, restrict water intake to the en-
gine (causing overheating), and restrict the
propellers to such an extent that it causes a
vibration that can damage the engine and
drive train.
Operator’s Responsibilities
• Ensure the boat is in top operating condi-
tion and there are no hazards that impede
your moving about the boat.
• Ensure the bilge is clean prior to starting.
• File a oat plan, as described below,
with a relative or friend.
• Have a complete knowledge of the op-
eration and handling characteristics of
your boat.
• Ensure that the boat is not loaded above
the maximum capacity and that the load
is properly distributed. Reference the
seating chart label afxed in the boat for
proper distribution of persons aboard.
• Have familiarity with your starting loca-
tion and your goal, and the waterways
between.
• Maintain a safe speed at all times to
avoid collisions.
• Keep an eye out for changing weather
conditions and respond accordingly.
• Know and practice the navigational
rules. Know and obey all federal and
state regulations and operate the boat
properly around all waterway markers.
• Maintain a clear, unobstructed view at all
times, especially forward. Scan the water
and avoid tunnel vision. Many boating
collisions are caused by inattention.
