When reboarding a PWC after a fall, you should approach from the stern/rear, not the side , and use the rear handle or boarding step to pull yourself up. If the PWC capsized, right it in the direction marked by the manufacturer before getting back on, then reattach the safety lanyard before restarting.

Safe reboarding steps

  • Make sure the engine is stopped before approaching.
  • Swim to the back of the PWC.
  • Use the transom/seat handle and place your knees on the boarding platform.
  • Move onto the seat, then reconnect the safety lanyard.

Important safety notes

  • Do not reboard from the side, because the craft can flip again.
  • Do not try to reboard with the engine running.
  • Check your owner’s manual or stern decal for the correct roll-over/righting direction.
