SAFETY TIPS IF DRIVING ON THE MYSTIC RIVER

 

 

Guarding Against Propeller Accidents While On The Boat

•  Many guests don't know a boat can bounce or lurch suddenly, and it's up to you, as skipper, to make sure everyone is seated safely inside the boat. Never allow passengers to ride on the bow, gunwales, or transom. If there aren't enough seats for everyone, extra passengers must remain ashore.
•  
•  Even if everyone is seated inside the boat, slow down when you encounter a large wake. To minimize the impact, cross the wake at an angle, not straight on.
•  
•  Avoid letting anyone aboard drink heavily, especially when the boat is underway. According to the claim files, alcohol was a factor with many prop injuries.
