3. PROTECTING PEOPLE IN THE WATER While You are Cruising It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take quick action to avoid a boat heading in his her direction even at slow speed Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an area where there might be people in the water Whenever a boat is moving coasting and the outboard gear shift is in neutral position there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to cause the propeller to rotate This neutral propeller rotation can cause serious injury While Boat is Stationary Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to swim or be in the water near your boat Stop your engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your boat Serious injury to the person in the water is likely if contacted by a rotating propeller a moving boat a moving gear case or any solid device rigidly attached to a moving boat or gear case PONTOON BOATS AND DECK BOATS Whenever the boat is in motion observe the location of all the passengers Do not allow any passengers to stand or use seats other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed because a sudden reduction in boat speed such as the result of plunging into a large wave or wake a sudden throttle reduction or a sharp change of boat direction could throw them over the front of boat Fallin
