Boating Basics: Specifically for PWCs
Reboarding a Capsized
PWC
After a fall, the PWC could be overturned completely. You
should be familiar with the proper procedure
to right the PWC and to reboard
from the rear of the craft.
- Most manufacturers have
placed a decal at the rear or
bottom of the craft that indicates the
direction to roll your PWC to return it to an upright
position. If no decal exists, check your owner’s manual
or ask the dealer. If you roll it over the wrong way, you
could damage your PWC.

- Practice reboarding with someone else around to make
sure you can handle it alone. Don’t ride your PWC if
you are very tired because reboarding would be difficult.
Also, avoid riding where there are strong currents or
winds, which could hamper your reboarding efforts.
