A - 10   GROUNDING AND TOWING
If the boat should become disabled, or if
assisting another craft that is disabled, great
care must be taken. The stress applied to a
boat during towing may become excessive.
Excessive stress can damage the structure of
the boat and create a safety hazard for those
aboard.

Any time the boat is operated, be aware of
changes in shift system operation. A sudden
increase in shift effort of the shifter levers, or
other abnormal operation, indicates a possible
problem in the shift system. If this occurs, the
following precautions must be taken:

Running aground can cause serious damage
to a boat and associated underwater gear. If
the boat should become grounded, distribute
personal flotation devices and inspect the boat
for possible damage. Thoroughly inspect the
bilge area for signs of leakage. An experienced
service facility should check the hull and
underwater gear at the first opportunity. DO
NOT continue to use the boat if the condition
of the hull or underwater equipment is
questionable.
