3.2.4 See where you're going

To avoid any unexpected dangerous situations, ensure you are always able to see where you are going and what is happening around your boat.

• Make sure nobody or nothing is blocking the view from the helm station.

• Be aware that a high running trim can obstruct the view so you may not notice swimmers and small vessels. Don’t drive with the bow high for long periods of time and trim the boat to lower the attitude in congested areas.

• Turn on the navigation lights when it is dark or the visibility is poor.

• Find out beforehand how the windshield wiper works.
