• Always put the boat in NEUTRAL before moving to and from the tower helm and cockpit.

GOOD COMMON SENSE, JUDGMENT AND EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED

WHEN OPERATING A BOAT WITH SOMEONE IN THE TOWER. DO NOT ALLOW ANY-

ONE IN THE TOWER WHEN THE WATER IS ROUGH OR WHEN OPERATING IN UNFA-

MILIAR WATERS WHERE RUNNING AGROUND IS A POSSIBILITY. REMEMBER, WEIGHT

IN THE TOWER RAISES THE BOAT'S CENTER OF GRAVITY AND THE BOAT'S MOTION

IS GREATLY EXAGGERATED FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWER.

10.6 Fishing

Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator when the action gets intense. You must

always be conscious of the fact that your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your boat

and the safety of your passengers and other boats in the area.

You must always make sure the helm is properly manned and is never left unattended while trolling.

If your boat is equipped with a tower, caution and good common sense must be exercised whenever

someone is in the tower.

If you are fishing in an area that is crowded with other fishing boats, it may be difficult to follow

the rules of the road. This situation can become especially difficult when most boats are trolling.

Being courteous and exercising good common sense is essential. Avoid trying to assert your right

of way and concentrate on staying clear and preventing tangled or cut lines and other unpleasant

encounters with other boats. Also keep in mind that fishing line wrapped around your propeller

shaft can damage the seals in the outboard lower unit.

10.7 Grounding and Towing

If the boat should become disabled, or if another craft that is disabled requires assistance, great care

must be taken. The stress applied to a boat during towing may become excessive. Excessive stress

can damage the structure of the boat and create a safety hazard for those aboard.

Freeing a grounded vessel, or towing a boat that is disabled, requires specialized equipment and

knowledge. Line failure and structural damage caused by improper towing have resulted in fatal

injuries. Because of this, we strongly suggest that these activities be left to those who have the

equipment and knowledge, e.g., the U.S. Coast Guard or a commercial towing company, to safely

accomplish the towing task.
