BOATING SAFETY

Prior to operation, be certain that all passengers are aware

of where the safety equipment is stowed, the location of all

onboard emergency equipment such as ﬁre extinguishers

and how this equipment is used. In case of potential emer-

gencies, be sure that at least one other person on-board

understands how to operate the boat.

Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around

you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your

boat. You—and anyone who will be operating this boat

should read and seek to fully comprehend your Moomba

Boats Owner’s Manual, and any additional information pro-

vided by component manufacturers and suppliers. Make

sure that you understand all of the controls and operating

instructions before attempting to operate the boat. Improp-

er operation is extremely dangerous!

Thank you for purchasing a Moomba boat. We hope your

ownership results in an enjoyable and rewarding boating

experience.

SAFETY KNOWLEDGE

Pg 11

THIS IS THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. IT IS USED TO ALERT

YOU TO POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY HAZARDS. OBEY ALL

SAFETY MESSAGES THAT FOLLOW THIS SYMBOL TO AVOID

POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.

SPECIAL ATTENTION SYMBOLS

As you read through this manual, you will ﬁnd CAUTION, WARNING and DANGER symbols which require special

attention. Please read them carefully! They may tell you how to avoid problems and/or endangering yourself, your

passengers, and other boaters. PLEASE REVIEW ALL SAFETY INFORMATION.

In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe safety recommendations may result in severe personal injury or death to

you or to others. Use caution and common sense when operating your boat. Don’t take unnecessary chances!

Be certain that all boat passengers are aware of this information and conform to boat safety principles.

The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the Owner’s Manual. Additional precautions throughout the Owner’s Manual are

noted by the following symbols: I S I!

Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your boat. Read

and comprehend this manual. Make sure that you understand all the controls and operating instructions before attempting to

operate the boat. Improper operation is extremely dangerous.

The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the manual. Additional precautions throughout the manual are noted by the

following symbols:

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous circumstance, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may

also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This is limited

to the most extreme situations.

The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat are not exhaustive. If a procedure, method, tool or part is not speciﬁcally

recommended by Skier’s Choice, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others, and that the boat will not be damaged

or made unsafe as a result of your decision.

REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING, SERVICING OR REPAIRING THE BOAT!

Pg 13

S B

Safe boating practices may seem obvious, but people have thought up risky and dangerous activities in boats, with boats,

and behind boats. Just because you or your passengers have seen a boating maneuver performed or have seen a particular

activity promoted, do not assume there is no risk of injury or death. Before you or your passengers go out in the boat and en-

gage in any water sport activity, give careful consideration to the risks. Plan ahead. Think twice before you try something new

behind your boat or with your boat. Know the limits of you, your passengers and your equipment and do not exceed them.

In addition to careful review of this manual, you should be aware as well that there are many sources of information available.

Skier’s Choice urges you to pursue additional training, such as safety and seamanship courses oered by the U.S. Coast

Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power Squadron.

Safe boating and safe actions may seem obvious, yet every year US Coast Guard statistics give evidence that many people

disregard safe boating practices. Do not take safety for granted. Think twice. We want all our boat owners and their passen-

gers, friends, and families to have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

The US Coast Guard oers an Auxiliary Boating Safety Course. It is recommended that new owners should consider taking

these courses to provide a foundation of operational and safety instruction. You can ﬁnd more information by visiting www.

WATER SPORTS NAMES AND TERMINOLOGY

There are many types of towed water sports, and they are known by many dierent names. The more popular sports are wake-

boarding, waterskiing, surﬁng, wakeskating and tubing. And there are many others. The terms used to describe participants in

towed water sports activities also vary greatly. Typical terms include rider, skier, and wakeboarder. To keep the language in this

manual straightforward, we use rider or skier to refer to a participant in any towed water sport. The terms ski, skiing, riding, surf-

ing or wakeboarding are used to refer to any towed water sport.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Federal and Local laws require certain safety equipment to be onboard at all times. In addition, Responsible boaters carry

equipment in case of an emergency. Check with local boating authorities for additional requirements over and above the federal

requirements.

Some equipment includes:

• UL-approved Marine Fire Extinguisher

• ABYC-approved Marine Muers with water injection

• USCG-approved Marine Flame Arrestor

• USCG-approved Engine Box Ventilation with sparkless power blower

• ABYC-approved Electric Horn sound warning device

Pg 17

SAFETY EQUIPMENT CONTINUED

Federal law also requires at least one Type I, II or III Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for each person on board or being towed on

water skis or other recreational equipment. In addition, one throwable Type IV PFD must also be on board. As the owner, obtain-

ing the appropriate PFDs is your responsibility. Your Moomba dealer can and will be happy to assist you.

NOTE: Requirements for coastal waters and inland waters dier. Check with the local authorities for more information.

A smart owner will avoid potential problems on an outing by having additional equipment on board. Normally, this equipment is

dependent on the body of water and the length of the trip. We suggest the following—as a minimum. Your Moomba dealer can

also assist you with additional recommendations.

Boating-related accidents are generally caused

by the operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written

precautions. Most accidents can be avoided if the operator is

completely familiar with the boat, its operation, and can recog-

nize potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.

• An anchor with at least 75 feet of line

• A manual bailing device for removing water

• A combination oar/boat hook

• A day-and-night visual distress signal

• A ﬁrst aid kit and manual

• An airway breathing tube

• A waterproof ﬂashlight

• A set of local navigation charts

• Mooring lines and fenders

• Extra engine oil

• A tool kit

• A portable AM/FM radio or weather radio

• VHF hand held marine radio

• Cell Phone

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to adhere to these precautions may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others.

• Improper operation is extremely dangerous. Operators must read and understand all operating manuals supplied with the

boat before operation.

• Remain seated at all times while the boat is in motion.

• Never stand or allow passengers to stand while the boat is moving. You or others may be thrown from the boat.

• Children in the bow of the boat should be accompanied by an adult at all times.

• Never operate the boat while under the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs.

• On-board equipment must always conform to the governing federal, state, and local regulations.

• Gasoline vapors can explode. Before starting engine, open engine box, check engine compartment for gasoline vapors, and

operate blower for at least four minutes. Run blower below cruising speed.

• Leaking fuel is a ﬁre and explosion hazard. Inspect system regularly. Examine fuel tanks for leaks or corrosion at least annu-

ally.

• Never override or modify the engine safety shut-o switch or engine neutral starting safety switch in any way.

• Never remove or modify components of the fuel system in any way except for maintenance by qualiﬁed personnel. Tamper-

ing with fuel components may cause a hazardous condition. Never allow any type of spark or open ﬂame on board. It may

result in ﬁre or explosion.

• It is the owner’s responsibility to check tightness of the tower bolts BEFORE each use.

• The tower is designed to pull a single (1) rider or individual. DO NOT climb or sit on the tower. Rope may loop on inverted

tricks. DO NOT sit behind the pulling point of the tower.

• Comply with the capacity limits stated on the capacity warning label in the boat.

Pg 19

• To avoid serious personal injury, DO NOT be on or about the swim platform while engine is running and keep away from

rear of boat while engine is running.

• To avoid serious personal injury, DO NOT operate engine while anyone is on or about the swim platform or in the water near

the boat.

• The tow bar is not designed for vertical extensions. Any modiﬁcations to the tow bar or its mountings may result in damage

to the boat and injury to the user.

• The tower may strike low objects. Check clearance height around docks, shore, overhanging objects, bridges and power

lines.

• Do not pull past 45 degrees of the centerline of the boat. Failure to follow this rule could result in the boat capsizing.

• It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure all passengers are seated when the boat is underway.

Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others.

• This boat is a high-performance boat and capable of quick and tight turns and changes in direction. It is the driver’s respon-

sibility to operate the boat in a manner to ensure the safety of all passengers.

Boaters must continuously be aware of weather conditions.

• Sudden storms, wind, lightning, etc., can unexpectedly put boaters in grave danger. Always check the local weather report

before going boating.

It is the driver’s responsibility to determine if weather or other factors have created an unsafe boating environment.

• The driver is solely responsible for the consequences of their actions.
