OPERATING YOUR BOAT

THINGS TO REMEMBER

S L

USING ‘360’REVERSE :

SOME SMALL ENGINES ALLOW YOU TO GO IN REVERSE

USE BY SPINNING THEM 360 DEGREES. IF YOU ARE NOT

VERY CAREFUL, THE ENGINE CAN SWING UP AND THE

PROPELLER HIT YOUR HULL WHEN YOU GO IN REVERSE.

WE SUGGEST YOU DO NOT DO THIS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

HULL DAMAGE THAT COULD ALLOW WATER IN YOUR

HULL.

1. Always wear your engine kill / shutoff lanyard when you start and operate the boat

- IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE !

2. Always wear a P.F.D. when operating a

Solo Skiff - it can save your life and is required by law.
