Question: 1 / 400

What should a motorboat operator do when someone is being pulled into the boat from the water?

Signal to other boats

Increase speed slightly to stabilize the boat

Shout instructions to the person in the water

Turn off the engine

When someone is being pulled into the boat from the water, the motorboat operator should immediately turn off the engine. This is because a running engine can be dangerous when someone is close to it, and it can also make it difficult for the person to get into the boat safely. Option A is incorrect as the main focus should be on safely pulling the person into the boat, not signaling to other boats. Option B is incorrect because increasing speed may cause the boat to move and make it difficult for the person to get into the boat safely. Option C is incorrect because shouting instructions may not be heard or understood in the chaotic situation of pulling someone into the boat. It is important to remember safety first and turn off the motor before assisting someone into the boat.
