Steering Nozzle Personal Flotation Device and Safety Gear U.S. federal regulations require that one U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) be carried for each person aboard when operating on water under Coast Guard jurisdiction. In some state waters not under federal jurisdiction, other flotation devices are permissible in addition to those specified by federal law.

Jet Pump Safety
Although the jet pump is inherently safer than a
propeller drive, certain safety precautions must al-
ways be observed.
Keep your hands, feet, and clothing away from the
jet pump intake (bottom of the boat, in the middle)
and never stick anything into the pump outlet (steer-
ing nozzle at the back of the boat) whenever the en-
gine is running, or a severe injury can occur.
A. Steering Nozzle
Personal Flotation Device and Safety Gear
U.S. federal regulations require that one U.S.
Coast Guard approved personal flotation device
(PFD) be carried for each person aboard when
operating on water under Coast Guard jurisdiction.
In some state waters not under federal jurisdiction,
other flotation devices are permissible in addition to
those specified by federal law. Other countries may
have their own standards and regulations; be sure
to follow them. As a rule, waist-type ski belts do not
qualify as adequate flotation devices. The full vest
type is recommended.
Check local regulations to
see what type of personal flotation device may be
required in your area.
