Anleitung Zusammenfassung
• If the fire is in the engine compartmentand you have an automatic extinguisher that activates, wait 15 minutes before opening the compartment. Have a portable extinguisher ready in case the fire flares up. • Signal for help. • Grab distress signals and survival gear. Put on PFDs. Prepare to abandon ship. D. Flooding, Swamping and Capsizing In the event of flooding, swamping or capsizing: • Try to shut off engines, generators and blowers before leaving the boat. • Have everyone put on Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs). • Account for all who were on board. • If the boat is floating stay with the boat. Hang on, or climb on the boat and signal for help. • Only as a last resort should you attempt to swim to shore - it is further away than it looks and you can tire and drown. E. Collisions and Leaking In the event of collisions and leaking: • Slow down or stop to reduce water intake, unless maintaining speed will keep the hole above water. • Switch on bilge pump. • Operate manual bilge pump, if the powered bilge pump can't handle the water flow. • Account for everyone on board and check for injuries. • Have everyone put on PFDs. • Stay with the boat. • Signal for help. • If a leak patch is attempted, it should be done from the outside. • In the event of a collision, you are required to file an accident report. Contact a state enforcement agency or the nearest Coast Guard office. If you are boating outside of U.S. waters, consult the nation you are visiting for accident reporting requirements. F. Grounding In the event of running aground: • Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop the intake of water before attempting to get the boat free. • Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion and steering systems. • Determine if the tide, wind and current will drive the boat harder aground or will help to free it. • Determine the water depth all around the boat, and the type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.). If it can be done without exposing persons to a risk of injury, the boat should be moved away from hard obstructions, and toward open water with soft ground. • Do not attempt to have your boat towed by other than a trained and competent service, such as the Coast Guard or a salvage company. Recreational craft are not designed to tow other recreational craft. G. Propulsion, Control or Steering Failure If the drive train fails, or the controls or steering do not respond properly or at all: • Shut off engine. • Put out the anchor to prevent drifting. • Determine whether or not you can repair the problem yourself. See the proper manuals for assistance in troubleshooting the engine, steering and engine controls. • If you are not sure you can fix the problem, or if conditions are adverse, signal for help. 16. Safety Hotlines The safety information in the preceding pages gives only the general areas of concern for boating safety. It is not intended to be, nor can it be, exhaustive. You must take a boating safety course, and get hands-on instruction in the proper and safe operation of your boat from experienced persons before cruising. The U.S. Coast Guard offers many pamphlets on safety and other information not covered in this manual. Contact your local Coast Guard unit or call the toll-free safety hotlines below for information. • U.S. Coast Guard 1-800-368-5647 • Canadian Coast Guard 1-800-267-6687 It is recommended that these and other important numbers be stored in your cell phone for quick reference.

Fuel and Oil Spillage Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste in navigable waters.

Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste, then dispose of it properly ashore. If there is much fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never pump contaminated bilge overboard. Hel...
