If a person has fallen into the water:
-
Point the boat directly into the wind.
-
Stop the engine.
-
Hand the person a flotation device if they are not wearing one.
-
Help the person back on board.
-
The easiest way is to use the swim ladder at the stern.
-
The ladder can also be pulled down from the water.
-
A revolving propeller is life-threatening to a swimmer or a person who has fallen overboard.
Turn off the engine when someone is climbing on board.
