As extensive as the curriculum for the boating license is, it is easy to forget many of the important details after the exam. The practical handbook for motorboat drivers is the perfect memory aid for this situation—whether for reference on board, to refresh complex topics, or for trip preparation. The chapters cover every important aspect of seamanship, from hull shape to trip planning, from engine technology to man-overboard maneuvers. Safety on board, proper navigation lights, and knowledge of buoys, navigation, right-of-way rules, and weather are also thoroughly addressed. All questions are answered with a direct reference to practice. Detailed color illustrations support the text and depict the corresponding maneuvers step by step—it's hard to be more illustrative and concise.
