[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4266837, member: 50626"] Ev Others have mentioned basic boating rule stuff. Covered things pretty well there. When it comes to operating the boat: few tips::::: keep the trim mostly down, until you’re on plane then trim up. Don’t go fast on plane unless you know for sure the water is deep and doesn’t have any sandbars/submerged debris etc Don’t make sharp turns under load/speed. It throws huge roller waves for other boaters to hit and it puts strain on your engine/transom If you’re coming into a dock a little fast just bump reverse so you don’t hit too hard If you’re retrieving the boat on a ramp remember to trim the outdrive way up before pulling forward up the ramp (damaged a couple skegs in my newbie days lol) Come off plane/speed SLOWLY don’t just cut the throttle Know your switches… bilge pump, gas fume blower if applicable, nav lights, etc [/QUOTE]
