2005 Yamaha Outboard 9.9D 15D Boat Motor Owners Manual

General information
EMU25530
Other special situations
There  are three  other  rules  you should  be
aware of when driving your boat around other
vessels.
Narrow channels and bends
When  navigating  in  narrow  channels,  you
should keep  to the right  when it is  safe and
practical to do so. If the operator  of a power-
driven  vessel  is  preparing to  go  around  a
bend that may obstruct the view of other water
vessels,  the  operator should  sound  a  pro-
longed blast on the whistle (4 to 6 seconds). If
another  vessel  is  around  the  bend,  it  too
should sound the  whistle. Even if no reply  is
heard, however,  the  vessel should  still pro-
ceed around the bend with caution. If you nav-
igate  such  waters  with your  boat,  you  will
need to  carry  a portable  air horn,  available
from local marine supply stores.
Crossing
When two power driven vessels are crossing
each others path close enough to run the risk
of collision, the vessel which has the other on
the starboard (right) side must keep out of the
way of the other. If the other vessel is on your
right, you must keep out of its way; you are the
Give-Way  vessel. If  the  other  vessel  is on
your  port   (left)   side,  remember   that  you
should maintain course and direction, provid-
ed the other vessel gives you the right-of-way
as it should.
Fishing vessel right-of-way
All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or
trawls are considered  to be fishing vessels
under  the International  Rules.  Vessels with
trolling lines  are not  considered fishing ves-
sels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way re-
gardless of position.  Fishing vessels cannot,
however, impede  the passage of  other ves-
sels in narrow channels.
Sailing vessel right-of-way
Sailing vessels should normally be  given the
right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:
1.
When the sailing vessel is overtaking the
power-driven  vessel,  the   power-driven
vessel has the right-of-way.
Overtaking
If you are passing another vessel, you are the
Give-Wayvessel. This means that the other
2.
3.
Sailing vessels should keep clear  of any
fishing vessel.
In  a  narrow  channel,  a  sailing  vessel
should not hamper the safe passage of a
power-driven vessel which  can navigate
only in such a channel.
vessel is expected to maintain its course and
speed. You must stay out of its way until you
are clear  of it. Likewise,  if another  vessel is
passing you, you should maintain your speed
and  direction so  that  the  other  vessel  can
steer itself around you.
