SECTION 1 • SAFETY
290 Sundancer
®
SAFE BOATING MEANS:
• Knowing the limitations of your boat;
• Following the rules of the road;
• Keeping a sharp lookout for people and objects
in the water;
• Not boating in water or weather conditions
that are beyond the boat’s or the operator’s
capability;
• Never boating when the operator is under the
influence of drugs or alcohol;
• Being aware of your passengers’ safety at all
times; and
• Reducing speed when there is limited visibility,
rough water, nearby people in the water, boats,
or structures.
Boating in beautiful weather and calm water
conditions can be a wonderful experience.
Pleasurable boating, however, requires considerably
greater skills than operating a land vehicle. To obtain
these skills, you must:
• Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron
or equivalent boating safety course. Call the
Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628 for
information on available courses.
• Get hands-on training on how to operate your
boat properly.
IN ADDITION:
• Maintain your boat and its safety and other
systems as recommended in this manual.
• Have the boat inspected by a qualified mechanic
or dealer, at least annually.
• Ensure that the Coast Guard required safety
equipment is on board and functions. (See page
1.2).

NOTICE
1. SAFETY LABELS
Safety precautions are given throughout this
manual and labels are mounted at key locations

facility for your boat.
