Safety On Board

 Never overload your boat! An overloaded boat, or one with

uneven weight distribution, can be difﬁ cult to steer.

 Be certain there is enough fuel aboard

for your cruising needs. Include any reserve

that might be needed should you change your

plans due to weather or emergency. Practice

the “one-third rule: (Use one-third of your

fuel going out, one-third to return and keep

one-third as a reserve).

 Check the weather before departure. Be particularly cautious of

electrical storms and high winds.

 Keep up-to-date charts aboard. Supplement any chart plotter charts

with paper backups. Charts can be obtained at your closest marine outlet

or store or by contacting one of three federal government agencies.

 File a ﬂ oat plan. Leave details of your trip with someone

responsible who will be remaining on shore. Include expected

return, plus name and phone number of a contact person in case of

emergency.

 Use care, courtesy and common sense when launching, docking

or operating your boat.

 Never drink and drive! As captain,

you are responsible for the safety of your

passengers and yourself. Alcohol and boating

can be a dangerous combination. DO NOT

mix them. Alcohol impairs the boat operators

ability to make conscious decisions and react

to emergency situations quickly.
