D.  Propeller
F.  Operation By Minors
Minors should always be supervised by an adult when-
ever operating a boat. Many states have laws regard-
ing the  minimum age  and licensing  requirements of
minors. Be sure to check local laws or contact the state
boating authorities for information.
Personal Injury!
Do not  allow anyone  near a  propeller, even
when the engine is off.   Propeller blades can
be sharp and  continue to turn even  after the
engine is shut off.  Do  not allow anyone near
the propeller when the throttle is in neutral po-
sition. Accidently engaging the shift can result
in a serious injury or death. (See actual ladder
warning labels and helm boarding ladder warn-
ing label below.)
G.  “Rules of the Road”
As a  responsible  boater, you  must comply  with  the
“Rules of the  Road,” the marine traffic laws  enforced
by the U.S. Coast Guard.   Navigating a boat is much
the same as driving  an automobile.  Operating either
one responsibly means  complying with a set of  rules
intended to  prevent accidents.   Just as  you assume
other car drivers know what they are doing, other boat-
ers assume you know what you are doing. Information
regarding navigational rules and the “Rules of the Road”
are discussed in further detail in C-1 & C-2 of the next
section.
Never approach or use ladder  when motor is
running. Severe injury or death will result from
contact with rotating propeller.
Ladder Warning Label
H.  Voluntary Inspections
State boating officials in many states or the U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliaries offer courtesy  inspections to check
out your craft. They will check for compliance with safety
standards and  required safety equipment.   You  may
voluntarily consent to one of these inspections, and you
are allowed to make  corrections without prosecution.
Check with the appropriate state agency or the Coast
Guard Auxiliary for details.
Shut off motor when near swimmers.  Severe
injury or death will result from contact with ro-
tating propeller.
Helm Boarding Ladder Warning Label
When pulling skiers do not turn on the engine
until you are at least a boat length away. When
approaching a  downed skier, turn off  the en-
gine at least one boat length away before reach-
ing the skier in the water.

Squadrons offer comprehensive safe boating classes
several times a year.  You  may contact the Boat/U.S.
