Big crowds and busy waterways mean safety needs to be your number one priority during these busy summer weekends! ๐๐ค
Before you even leave the dock, remember the two golden rules of the water: Always wear your life jacket, and hook up your killswitch! Whether you use a classic lanyard or a modern wireless fob system, combining a life jacket with your engine cut-off switch is the single easiest way to prevent a tragedy if you're thrown from the helm or lose control in heavy wake.
As you head out, keep these rules in mind:
1๏ธโฃ Put on your life jacket before you leave the slip and keep it on.
2๏ธโฃ Wear your killswitch lanyard at all times while the main outboard is running.
3๏ธโฃ Keep your eyes on your sonar/GPS to track changing depths and hidden hazards, especially in high-traffic zones.
If your electronics, engine wiring, or trolling motor are giving you trouble ahead of a big weekend, bring your rig to Elite Sonar. Weโll make sure your tech is dialed in so you can navigate with total peace of mind.
Have a safe and fun weekend on the water!
