IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around
you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain
your boat. Read and comprehend this manual. Make
sure that you understand all the controls and operating
instructions before attempting to operate the boat.
Improper operation is extremely dangerous.
The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the
manual. Additional precautions throughout the manual
are noted by the following symbols:
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
circumstance, which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This is limited to the most extreme situations.
The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat
are not exhaustive. If a procedure, method, tool or part
is not specically recommended by Skier’s Choice, you
must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others,
and that the boat will not be damaged or made unsafe
as a result of your decision.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN
OPERATING, SERVICING OR REPAIRING THE BOAT!
In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe safety
recommendations may result in severe personal injury
or death to you or to others. Use caution and common
sense when operating your boat. Don’t take unnecessary
chances!
Be certain that all boat passengers are aware of this
information and conform to boat safety principles.

Boating Safety

SAFE BOATING
Safe boating practices may seem obvious, but people have
thought up risky and dangerous activities in boats, with
boats, and behind boats. Just because you or your passengers
have seen a boating maneuver performed or have seen a
particular activity promoted, do not assume there is no risk
of injury or death. Before you or your passengers go out in
the boat and engage in any water sport activity, give careful
consideration to the risks. Plan ahead.Think twice before you
try something new behind your boat or with your boat. Know
the limits of you, your passengers and your equipment and
do not exceed them.
In addition to careful review of this manual, you should be
aware as well that there are many sources of information
available. Skier’s Choice urges you to pursue additional
training, such as safety and seamanship courses oered by
the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power Squadron.
Safe boating and safe actions may seem obvious, yet every
year US Coast Guard statistics give evidence that many
people disregard safe boating practices. Do not take safety for
granted. Think twice. We want all our boat owners and their
passengers, friends, and families to have a safe and enjoyable
experience on the water.
US COAST GUARD AUXILIARY BOATING SAFETY
COURSE
The purchaser of a new 2018 Moomba boat is entitled to a
USCGA Boating Safety Course that Moomba will pay for. Please
see the Certicate in your owner’s packet or your dealer for
more details.
WATER SPORTS NAMES AND TERMINOLOGY
There are many types of towed water sports, and they are
known by many dierent names. The more popular sports
are wakeboarding, waterskiing, surfing, wakeskating and
tubing. And there are many others.The terms used to describe
participants in towed water sports activities also vary greatly.
Typical terms include rider, skier, and wakeboarder. To keep the
language in this manual straightforward, we use rider or skier
to refer to a participant in any towed water sport. The terms
ski, skiing, riding, surng or wakeboarding are used to refer to
any towed water sport.

Federal law requires certain safety equipment to be on board at
all times. In addition, responsible boaters carry other equipment
in case of emergency. Check with the local boating authorities
for any additional requirements over and above the federal
stipulations.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Your Moomba has been equipped at the factory with most of the federally
required safety equipment for inland waters (Class 1, 16’-to-26’).
This equipment includes:
• UL-approved Marine Fire Extinguisher, Type A-BC (2 lbs.), good for
solids, liquids, and electrical re
• ABYC-approved Marine Muers with water injection
• USCG-approved Marine Flame Arrestor
• USCG-approved Engine BoxVentilation with sparkless power blower
• ABYC-approved Electric Horn sound warning device
• USCG-approved inland lighting

2018 Skier’s Choice, Inc.
12
Federal law also requires at least one Type I, II or III Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for each person on board or being towed on water
skis or other recreational equipment. In addition, one throwable Type IV PFD must also be on board. As the owner, obtaining the
appropriate PFDs is your responsibility. Your Moomba dealer can and will be happy to assist you.
NOTE: Requirements for coastal waters and inland waters dier. Check with the local authorities for more information.
A smart owner will avoid potential problems on an outing by having additional equipment on board. Normally, this equipment is
dependent on the body of water and the length of the trip. We suggest the following—as a minimum. Your Moomba dealer can also
assist you with additional recommendations:
• An anchor with at least 75 feet of line
• A manual bailing device for removing water
• A combination oar/boat hook
• A day-and-night visual distress signal
• A rst aid kit and manual
• An airway breathing tube
• A waterproof ashlight
• A set of local navigation charts
• Mooring lines and fenders
• Extra engine oil
• A tool kit
• A portable AM/FM radio or weather radio
• VHF handheld marine radio
• Cell Phone
Boating-related accidents are generally caused by the
operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written
precautions. Most accidents can be avoided if the operator
is completely familiar with the boat, its operation, and can
recognize potentially hazardous situations before an accident
occurs.

2018 Skier’s Choice, Inc. 13

2018 Skier’s Choice, Inc. 15
WATER SPORTS SAFETY
Riders are obligated to be as aware of the fundamental safety rules as well as the boat operator. If you are new to towed water sports,
seek certied training before starting. You will nd it especially helpful to join a local ski club and USA Waterski when possible.
Always remember that the majority of water sports injuries are the result of impacts with other objects, so always look where you
are going and be aware of what is going on around you.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others.
• Every skier or rider must always wear a USCG-approved personal otation device.

• Never ski in shallow water, close to shore, or in water where you do not know the depth or what is beneath the surface.
• Never put your arm, head, or any other part of your body through the handle-bridle of the ski line nor wrap the line around any
part of the body at any time.
• Never ski at night, or directly in front of other boats.
• Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter or exit the water when the engine is running (ON).
• Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing hand signals and common skiing courtesy.
•
SKI PYLON EXTENSIONS
The use of a ski pylon extension or extensions in excess of 7-feet vertical is not recommended by Moomba on our products. If you elect to use
merchandise such as these, be aware that they could create excessive stress on your boat and subjectively cause damages not covered by the warranty.

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) SAFETY
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is
produced by gasoline engines and is a component of exhaust fumes.
Shut o the engine when people are on the swim platform or in the
water around the rear of the boat.
Do not do any activities which put people in close proximity of the
transom when the engine is running.
For the most current information on carbon monoxide, you may
call, write or visit on-line any of the following:

PRODUCT MISUSE
Misuse of the product or use of it in a manner for which it
was never intended can create dangerous situations. The
driver and passengers are responsible for using the product
safely and as intended. The driver must operate the boat in
a manner that ensures the safety of all passengers. If you or
your passengers are unsure about use of the product, about
performing certain boating maneuvers or are unsure about
a particular water activity, refer to this manual or contact
a knowledgeable source such as your local dealer, Skier’s
Choice, Inc., the US Coast Guard, or your local boating
authority.

2018 Skier’s Choice, Inc. 17
CAPACITY AND WEIGHTING YOUR BOAT
Do not exceed the capacity warning label axed to the
boat in the helm area. The capacity limit is shown in
the number of people and weight limit in pounds. The
combined weight of people and gear must be considered
when loading the boat. Ballast and fuel have been
considered in the capacity limit and do not need to be
added to the people and gear weight. Ballast weight
above factory installed equipment must be calculated
into the total weight of people and gear.
Although water intrusion and waves spilling inside a boat
is an obvious boating hazard, this hazard can increase
when weighting your boat for water sports such as
wakeboarding or wakesurng. Do not overweight the
boat or exceed boat capacity. Use good judgment when
using unbalanced weight in your boat. Concentrating
weight in a rear corner of the boat for wakesurng puts
the top of the deck closer to water level. Backwash, large
waves and choppy water are more likely to swamp the
boat in this situation.
When loading your boat give separate attention to the bow area.
Excess and unevenly distributed weight in the bow of the boat
can create a water inux hazard, unstable steering conditions,
and even loss of control. Driver visibility can be reduced if the
bow is overloaded or unevenly weighted.
Excess and improper loading of bow area forward of windshield
may cause water inux, operating instability, and loss of control
resulting in injury or death. See Seating Capacities for bow limits.
Use good judgment when weighting your boat for any towed
water sports. Educate yourself on the proper responses for the
diering and potentially unsafe conditions you could encounter.

2018 Skier’s Choice, Inc.
18
MAXIMUM CAPACITIES
In compliance with United States Coast Guard Regulations, Moomba
Boats meet or exceed all safety standards designed for recreational
boats. To ensure safe handling and performance, each Moomba boat
displays a maximum capacity sticker (see sample), stating the maximum
passenger weight load allowable.
NOTE: Refer to the Maximum Capacity Sticker on your boat for
allowable loading.
Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the boat.
The driver must be aware of all passenger’s locations and positions,
and passengers must stay alert to changes in direction.
The boat is capable of quick and tight turns. Such maneuvers can
cause unseated occupants to be thrown around or out of the boat.
Alert passengers before changes in direction.
PROPER SEATING
Proper seating is an important element of boating safety. Proper
seating consists of sitting with your buttocks in full contact with
a seat cushion within easy reach of a suitable handhold or grab
rail anytime the boat is underway. Handholds and grab rails
should be used to secure oneself and prevent loss of balance.
Do not sit in locations not designed as a seat. For instance, do
not sit on seat backs, do not sit on the sides or gunwale of the
boat, and do not sit on the sundeck while the boat is in motion.
See examples below of proper sitting positions.
