The following general guidelines have been prepared to assist you in making your determinations. Passengers can affect control of the watercraft by improper positioning or sudden movements. It is important that passengers sit still while the watercraft is in motion and not interfere with the operation of the watercraft. Do not carry animals on your watercraft. You should instruct any passenger before riding to hold on to the person in front of them, hand strap, or handrail; and keep both feet on the deck for balance. Use the open storage area aft of the seat for carrying cargo. Be sure that any loose items are packed in a buoyant container to prevent them from falling overboard and becoming lost. Loose articles or rope could fall overboard and become lodged in the intake grate or pump. Use the cargo net (not standard equipment with this watercraft) or other suitable tie-down straps to secure cargo on the open storage area. The hook under the rear end of the seat and the towing eyes at the stern are available.
