Boater's Responsibilities

The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation

of the boat and safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly

recommended that each operator (driver) read and understand this

entire manual before operating the trolling motor.

Be sure at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basic

operation of the trolling motor in case the driver is unable to operate the

boat.

Protecting People in the Water

WHILE YOU ARE TROLLING

It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to avoid

a boat heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.

21604

Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are

boating in an area where there might be people in the water.

WHILE THE BOAT IS STATIONARY

WARNING

A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to

the boat can cause serious injury or death to swimmers. Stop the

trolling motor immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your

boat.

Shut off the trolling motor before allowing people to swim or be in the

water near your boat.
