Caution labels
Several sets of rules prevail according to geo-
graphic location, but are all basically the same
as the International Rules of the Road. The
rules presented here in your Owner’s Manual
are condensed, and have been provided for
your convenience only. Consult your local
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Department of

CAUTION:
Whenever two vessels on the water meet one
another, one vessel has the right-of-way; it is
called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel
which does not have the right-of-way is called
the “give-way” or “burdened” vessel. These
rules determine which vessel has the right-of-
way, and what each vessel should do.
Stand-on vessel
Store the engine only as shown.
Otherwise, engine damage could result
from Leaking oil.
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty
to continue its course and speed, except to
avoid an immediate collision. When you main-
tain your direction and speed, the other vessel
will be able to determine how best to avoid
you.
Give-way vessel
The vessel which does not have the right-of-
way has the duty to take positive and timely
action to stay out of the way of the Stand-On
vessel. Normally, you should not cross in front
of the vessel with the right-of-way. You should
slow down or change directions briefly and
pass behind the other vessel. You should al-
ways move in such a way that the operator of
the other vessel can see what you are doing.

Just as there are rules which apply when you
are driving on streets and high ways, there

driving your boat. These rules are used inter-
nationally, and are also enforced by the Unit-
ed States Coast Guard and local agencies.
You should be aware of these rules, and fol-
low them whenever you encounter another
vessel on the water.
“The general prudential rule”
This rule is called Rule 2 in the International
Rules and says,
