I understand that my passengers and I should wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times when boating. I have assigned one responsible adult to keep track of the whereabouts and safety of each child on board. I understand that life jackets sized for adults are unsafe for children. I understand when crossing the path of another boat, I should yield to the boat on my right, (starboard). - IF I OR THE OTHER BOAT FAIL TO ACT - I understand there is the threat of a collision and it is my responsibility to slow down, steer away and/or stop. I understand that when I meet another boat head-on I should steer to the right (starboard). I understand that when I overtake another boat I should pass on the left (port) side, leave plenty of room, and yield (give way) to that boat. If conditions require it, I may pass on the right (starboard) side. I understand that I must yield (give way) to all boats under sail. I understand that under Federal and/or State law it is a crime to operate a boat while persons are sitting on the front (bow), sides (gunwales), rear (stern), or swim platform. This behavior is considered grossly negligent operation of a boat. I understand that using alcohol, drugs and certain prescription medications may impair my ability to operate this boat safely. I will not operate this boat or allow any- one else to operate this boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I will not permit swimming, diving, sliding, or jumping from or near the boat unless the boat motor is turned off, the keys are removed, and I have counted to ten to allow the propeller time to stop spinning. I will check to make sure that the water is deep enough before allowing head-first diving from the boat. I will instruct my passengers never to dive or jump off of a moving boat. I confirm that rental company staff have informed me about local hazards such as shallow water, submerged objects, currents, and weather conditions. I acknowledge that rental company staff have explained to me the local laws and regulations that apply to boating in this area. I understand them and will follow them carefully. I understand that five short blasts of a horn or whistle signal danger or need for assistance.I understand that it is recommended that I take a safe boating course approved by NASBLA through the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadrons® and individual states which would help me when I rent or operate boats. I understand that under Federal and/or State law it is a crime to operate a boat while persons are sitting on the front (bow), sides (gunwales), rear (stern), or swim platform. This behavior is considered grossly negligent operation of a boat. I understand that there is an awareness zone that includes the front (bow), sides (gunwales), rear (stern) and swim platform, and extends 30 feet behind and around this boat. I will educate all of my passengers on the awareness zone, and I will not allow anyone to enter the awareness zone unless the boat motor is turned off, the keys are removed, and I have counted to ten to allow the propeller time to stop spinning. I will take a head count to make sure all passengers are present and ac- counted for before starting the motor. I understand that it is particularly dangerous to sit on the front of the platform of this boat, because a slip between the pontoons will “funnel” a passenger into the boat propeller.

I will not exceed that limit. I understand that overloading this boat is unsafe and against the law. I will anchor where it is easy for other boats to see this boat (so long as the area is anchorable). I will anchor this boat only from the front (bow). I will check to make sure that the water is deep enough before allowing head-first diving from the boat. I will instruct my passengers never to dive or jump off of a moving boat.
