Boating: How to Boat: Safety
Propellor Blades Warning
Never forget the danger that boat propellors can inflict to persons in the water. Statistics indicate the most propellor injuries and fatalities involve open motorboats 16 to less than 26 feet in length and are due to operator inattention, inexperience, and carelessness. Remember to shut off your engines when approaching swimmers. When engines are running, alert swimmers to stay clear of the stern. Propeller guards are not suitable for all types of boats. Therefore, the best and safest course of action to take when people are in water near your boat--Shut off your engines!
