2005 Yamaha Outboard 9.9D 15D Boat Motor Owners Manual

General information
Reading buoys and other markers
The waters  of the United  states are marked
for safe  navigation  by the  lateral system  of
buoyage.  Simply  put,   buoys  and  markers
have an arrangement of shapes, colors, num-
bers and lights to show which side of the buoy
a boater should pass on when navigating in a
particular  direction. The  markings  on these
buoys are oriented from the perspective of be-
ing entered from seaward (the boater is going
towards the port). This means that red buoys
are passed on the starboard (right) side when
proceeding  from open  water  into  port, and
black buoys are to port (left) side. When navi-
gating out of port, your position with respect to
the  buoys  should  be  reversed;  red  buoys
should  be to  port  and black  buoys to  star-
board.
Many bodies of water used by boaters are en-
tirely  within  the  boundaries  of  a  particular
state. The  Uniform State Waterway  Marking
System has  been devised  for these waters.
This system  uses buoys and signs  with dis-
tinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory
or advisory  information.  These markers  are
white with black letters and orange boarders.
They  signify speed  zones, restricted  areas,
danger areas, and general information.
Remember, markings may vary by geograph-
ic location.  Always consult local  boating au-
thorities before driving your boat in unfamiliar
waters.
