GENERAL INFORMATION

BOATS WITH FRONT MOUNTED, RAISED PEDESTAL

FISHING SEATS

Elevated fishing seats are not intended for use when the boat is

traveling faster than idle or trolling speed. Sit only in seats

designated for traveling at faster speeds.

Any unexpected, sudden reduction in boat speed could result in

the elevated passenger falling over the front of the boat.

Wave and Wake Jumping

Operating recreational boats over waves and wake is a natural part

of boating. However, when this activity is done with sufficient speed

to force the boat hull partially or completely out of the water, certain

hazards arise, particularly when the boat reenters the water.

26784

The primary concern is the boat changing direction while in the

midst of the jump. In such case, the landing may cause the boat to

veer violently in a new direction. Such a sharp change in direction

can cause occupants to be thrown out of their seats, or out of the

boat.
