Especially for PWC - Reboarding A Capsized PWC
After a fall a PWC could be completely overturned. When this
occurs you should follow these procedures:
- Most manufacturers have placed a decal at the rear the craft
that indicates the direction to roll your PWC to an upright
position. If no decal exists, check your owners manual or ask the
dealer
- With this information you should be able to roll the PWC over
and reboard with little problem. If you roll it over the wrong way
you could cause serious damage to your PWC
- It is a good idea to practice reboarding with someone else
around
- Avoid riding your PWC when you are very tired, as this can make
reboarding more difficult
- Avoid riding where there are strong currents or winds; this
could hamper your reboarding efforts
