Boat education and training
Operate  defensively  at  safe  speeds  and
keep a safe distance away from people,  ob-
jects, and other boats.
Operators   should  take   a   boating  safety
course. This may  be required in  your state.
Many of the  organizations listed in  the next
section can provide information about cours-
es in your area.
Do not follow directly behind other boats or
waterskiers.
Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that
make it hard for others to avoid you or un-
derstand where you are going.
You may also  want to consider  an Internet-
based program  for  basic boater  education.
The Online Boating Safety  Course provided
by the BoatU.S. Foundation, is approved  by
the  National  Association  of  State  Boating
Law  Administrators  (NASBLA)  and  recog-
nized  by  the  United  States  Coast  Guard.
Most, but not all, states accept this course to
meet their  minimum  requirements. While  it
cannot replace  an in-depth  course such as
one offered  by the  U.S. Coast Guard,  U.S.
Power Squadron, or other  organization, this
online course  does provide a  general over-
view of the basics in boating safety, require-
ments,   navigation,   and   operation.  Upon
successful  completion  of   the  course,  the
user can  download a  certificate of  comple-
tion immediately  or, for  a small  charge, re-
quest one by mail.  To take this free course,
Avoid  areas  with  submerged  objects  or
shallow water.
Ride within  your limits and  avoid aggres-
sive maneuvers to  reduce the risk of  loss
of control, ejection, and collision.
Take early action to avoid collisions.  Re-
member, boats do not have brakes, and
stopping  the  engine  or reducing  throttle
can reduce  the ability to  steer. If you  are
not sure  that you can  stop in time  before
hitting an obstacle, apply  throttle and turn
in another direction.
