2865 DENALI

Chapter 12:

OPERATION

12.1 General

Before you start the engine on your Denali, you should have become familiar with the various

component systems and their operation, and have performed a “Pre-Cruise System Check.”

A thorough understanding of the component systems and their operation is essential to the

proper operation of the boat. This manual and the associated manufacturers’ information is

provided to enhance your knowledge of your boat. Please read them carefully.

Your boat must have the necessary safety equipment on board and be in compliance with the

U.S. Coast Guard, local and state safety regulations. There should be one “Personal Flotation

Device” (PFD) for each person. Nonswimmers and small children should wear PFDs at all

times. You should know and understand the “Rules of the Road” and have had an experienced

operator brief you on the general operation of your new boat. At least one other person should

be instructed on the proper operation of the boat in case the operator is suddenly incapacitated.

The operator is responsible for his safety and the safety of his passengers. When boarding

or loading the boat, always step onto the boat , never jump. All passengers should be properly

seated whenever the boat is operated above idle speed. Your passengers should not be allowed

to sit on the seat backs, gunnels, bows, transoms or on fishing seats whenever the boat is

underway. The passengers should also be seated to properly balance the load and must not

obstruct the operators view, particularly to the front.

Overloading and improper distribution of weight can cause the boat to become unstable and

are a significant cause of accidents. Do not overload your boat. Remember, it is the

responsibility of the operator to use good common sense and sound judgement in loading

and operating the boat.

12.2 Rules of the Road

As in driving an automobile, there are a few rules you must know for safe boating operation.

The following information describes the basic navigation rules and action to be taken by

vessels in a crossing, meeting or overtaking situation while operating in inland waters. These

are basic examples and not intended to teach all the rules of navigation. For further

information consult the “Navigation Rules” or contact the Coast Guard, Coast Guard

Auxiliary, Department of Natural Resources, or your local boat club. These organizations

sponsor courses in boat handling, including rules of the road. We strongly recommend such

courses. Other books on this subject are also available from your local library.
