OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• The operator and all passengers should wear a

USCG-approved life jacket. USCG regulations

require that the proper number and type of life

jackets be aboard the boat for each adult

passenger and worn by each child under 13 years

old. However, some foreseeable accidents could

happen so quickly on any boat that there would

not be time to put on a life jacket. Therefore,

Skeeter recommends life jacket use at all times

while the boat is in operation.

• Eye protection is recommended to keep wind,

water, and glare from the sun out of your eyes

while you operate your Skeeter boat. Restraining

straps for eyewear are made which are designed

to float should your eyewear fall into the water.

• Footwear and gloves are recommended.

• NEVER operate the boat after consuming alcohol

or taking drugs.

• For reasons of safety and proper care of your

Skeeter boat, always perform the pre-operation

checks listed on page 1-13 before operating.

• Passengers must always sit in a designated

seating area, place feet on the deck, and hold on

to the hand grips when the boat is in motion.

• Always consult your doctor on whether it is safe for

you to ride in this boat if you are pregnant or in

poor health.

• Do not attempt to modify this Skeeter boat!

Modifications to your boat may reduce safety

and reliability, and render the boat unsafe or

illegal to use.

• Attach the engine stop cord (lanyard) to the

operator’s life jacket and keep it free from steering

wheel or other controls so that the engine stops if

the operator accidentally leaves the helm. Failure

to attach the engine stop cord could result in a

runaway boat if the operator is ejected.

• After operation, remove the engine stop cord and

the keys to avoid accidental starting or

unauthorized use by children or others.
