Mostrar la forma de poder operar adecuadamente un barco de motor de la siguiente manera:

10a

Ayudar a poner un barco en el agua desde un remolque.

Start by inspecting the boat ramp above and below the water for obstructions and to understand where to back the trailer in. Be polite to other ramp users and communicate your intentions to them. As you get into the water, but before the boat can float, undo the safety chain and loosen the cable off. Back the boat trailer into the water until the boat floats. Someone in the boat should operate the boat off the trailer while someone else unhooks the cable, deals with tying the boat to the dock with ropes (if required), and driving the truck and trailer away.

Good communication within your group and with others nearby is important to avoid damage.

10b

Comprobar los equipos de seguridad. Revisar el combustible y el motor.

It is good to have a small laminated (to prevent it getting wet) card with a safety checklist appropriate to a particular boat. Checking the fuel requires either looking at the gauge (if so equipped) or opening the tank and visually looking. The motor should be tested by running it gently while unloading from the trailer.

10c

Encender el motor y partir de una playa o muelle.

Watch where you are going. Don't go fast near the shore, and avoid making waves.

10d

Conducir un barco en línea recta por 400 metros. Hacer un giro de 90 grados a la izquierda y derecha. Hacer un giro de 180 grados.

This is just a simple demonstration of ability to handle the boat.

10e

Detenido, tirar el ancla y recuperarla.

The tricky part is doing this without damaging the boat. Go slow, controlling the chain/rope. A towel over the edge of the boat can help avoid damaging the fiberglass or other parts of the boat.

10f

Detenerse en un muelle o una playa con un buen nudo.

Again, slow and controlled. If beaching you need to tie to a sturdy tree or rock, remembering that tides and waves can move your boat if not properly secured. There are a few knots every boater needs to know:

Cleat Hitch - Use to secure the boat to a dock or secure a line to the boat Take the line to the ear of the cleat farthest from where the line comes from (the load). Take one wrap around the base of the cleat and then start a figure eight across the top of the opposite ear. Finish with a half hitch turned under so that the line is coming away from the cleat in the opposite direction from which it came in.

10g

Ayudar a sacar un barco del agua a un remolque.

First check for obstructions and communicate your intentions to others in the area. After one person backs the trailer into the water, slowly but forcefully drive the boat onto the trailer. Make sure your boat is straight on the trailer, which might mean letting the boat settle out before the next step. The person outside the boat should attach the cable and cinch it up before attaching the safety chain. Pull out of the water and attach safety straps at the back and anywhere else required. Check that no weeds are attached to the boat or trailer to prevent the spread of invasive species between lakes. If you have been in ocean water, rise your wheels and brakes. Attach any boat covers, and secure all ropes and equipment before driving off.
