Caution labels
Steering and sailing rules and sound
signals
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.
ZMU04702
Stand-on vessel
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty
to continue its  course and speed,  except to
avoid  an   immediate  collision.   When  you
maintain your direction and speed, the other
vessel will be able to determine  how best to
avoid you.

CAUTION:
Transport  and store  the  engine only  as
shown. Otherwise, engine damage  could
result from leaking oil.
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 brief-
ly  and pass  behind  the  other  vessel. You
should always move  in such a way  that the
operator  of the  other vessel  can  see what
you are doing.

Basic boating rules (Rules of
the road)
Just as there are rules which apply when you
are driving  on streets and  high ways, there
are  waterway rules  which apply  when  you
are driving your  boat. These rules are  used
internationally, and are also enforced by the
United States Coast  Guard and local  agen-
cies.  You should  be aware  of  these rules,
and  follow  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,
Several  sets  of  rules  prevail according  to
geographic 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 pro-
vided  for  your  convenience  only.  Consult
your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or De-
partment of  Motor  Vehicles for  a complete
set  of rules  governing the  waters  in which
you will be using your boat.
“In obeying  and construing these  rules due
regard shall be had to all dangers of naviga-
tion and collision, and to any special circum-
stances, which may render a departure from
the above rules  necessary in order to avoid
immediate danger.”
In other words, follow the standard rules ex-
cept when a  collision will occur  unless both
vessels try to avoid each  other. If that is the
case, both vessels become “Give-Way” ves-
