EMERGENCY

PROCEDURES

TOWING THE SPORT BOAT

➀

Bow eye

The Sport Boat should be towed only if

it becomes inoperative.

The towing rope should be long

enough so that the Sport Boat will not

collide with the towing boat when slow-

ing down. A good rule of thumb is a tow

rope which is three times the combined

length of the towing boat and the Sport

Boat.

Tow the Sport Boat using the bow eye

only. Tow the boat at a “no wake”

speed.

Do not tow the Sport Boat at speed

fast enough to leave a wake. Severe

engine damage could result

because water can flood the non-

operating engines through the cool-

ing water intake.

The operator of the towing boat

must keep speed to a minimum and

avoid traffic or obstacles which

could be a hazard to the driver on

the Sport Boat.

RUNNING ON ONE ENGINE

If one engine becomes inoperative, the

properly running engine can be used to

return to shore. Operate at a “no wake”

speed to prevent water from flooding

the non-operating engine through the

cooling water intake.

Do not operate the Sport Boat above

a “no wake” speed with just one

engine. Severe engine damage

could result because water can

flood the non-operating engines

through the cooling water intake.
