Boating blunders for
those who won't listen
17) Don't pay any attention
to that underwater obstruction
marker the Corps of Engineers
put out. What do they know.
18) Why sit in the seats and
get them all messed up? There
are a lot of other places you can
sit in a boat - - like the transom,
the gunwales, the back of the
seats or, best of all, the bow.
19) Taking your gas tank out
of the boat to fill it is a waste of
time. Leave it in the boat. So
you spill a little gas in the bilges.
It'll dry up eventually. Just-
remember not to light a match.
20) It wasn't right for that
judge to compare you to the
"creature from the black
lagoon". .Th ose swimmers, should
have seen your drag boat
coming. With a good lawyer and
luck you can get the Supreme
Court to reverse that
manslaughter rap.

Can fish make sounda 11QW
well do they see? Can they
distinguish one color from
another? Do they feel pain?
These and other questions
have fascinated fishermen since
primitive man first wet.a line,
say• the fishing experts at
Mercury outboards. The answers
to some of the angler's usual
questions are purely academie,
while others give clues to
successful fishing.
Here are a few facts on which
most scientists agree;
Can a fish feel pain when he's
hooked? To some extent, but
the sensation of pain is probably
not as keen as it is in mammals.
It's unlikely that a hooked fish
would pull so hard on a fishing
line if such action greatly
increased its pain.
Can a fish make sounds?
Some make a grunting noise by
forcing air from the air bladder
through their mouths. Others
gnash their teeth, Fishermen in
Malaya put their heads in the
water and can distinguish the
direction and types of fish
making underwater sounds (or
so they.claim).
How do fish manage to
support themselves at various
depths so effortlessly?
Submerged, fish weigh little or
nothing, because the total
volume of water they occupy
weighs about the same as they
do. Bottom dwelling species are
heavier than water,
How well does a fish see?
Most biologists agree that fish
see clearly at close •range but
that their distant view is limited.
Fish can tell one color from
another. And they have
preferences. Bass, for instance,
seem to favor red or yellow
lures, while northern pike often
show a preference for the red
and white combinations.
Are fish smart or stupid? Ask
any fisherman,

Every year about this time
various authorities begin urging
safe boating practices on the
public: Well intentioned and
responsible boaters usually listen
to the advice and try to follow
it.
But what about the bad
intentioned and irresponsible?
Who speaks to them? Until now,
no one. At least that's the
opinion of the people at
Mercury outboards. So, to
remedy that situation they have
devised a list of 20 pieces of bad
advice for that small group of
boaters who have been ignoring
good advice all these years.
Here, are 20 "tried and true"
ideas for making you the biggest
menace on the water this
summer (if that's your
ambition):
l'.) Why should you bother to
learn the Rules of the Road?
You've been driving a boat for
more than a year and you've
only had those two or three
little head-on collisions.
2) That stuff about sharp
turns at high, speeds causing
boats to capsize is a lot of bunk.
The Coast Guard likes to
exaggerate.
3) Stop worrying about
overloading. Your boat should
hold eleven adults and a Great
Dane with no trouble. After all,
it's a dinghy.
4) My brother water skis at
night a lot and says it's a real
bag. Ask him. He's standing right
over there - - the guy with his leg
in a cast ...
5) Your 12-footer is a
sailboat, right? He's a
powerboat, right? So you have
the right-of-way. Don't let an
aircraft carrier intimidate you.
6) Go ahead and stand up in
that canoe. How can you be
expected to cast sitting down?
7) Boat cushions are for little
old ladies.
8) Don't turn off a collision
course until the other guy does.
You can't let people push you
around.
9) Sure, you could get your
trailer brake lights fixed, but
that would take all the
adventure out of night driving.
10) Your kids don't have to
wear life jackets. If they fall
overboard, they can grab onto a
piece of driftwood.
1 1 ) You probably
remembered to put in the drain
plug before you launched. That
must be rain water in the bilge.
12) One-hundred horsepower
isn't too much power for your
12-footer. That dealer was just
trying to scare you into buying
an expensive boat.
13) You don't have to get out
of the way of that barge captain!
Let him get out of the way. ICS
not his river.
14) Next time you see Ii
water skier being towed behind
another boat, drive your boat
right up behind him. It's a real
kick to see the look of terror on
his face when he looks back at
you.
15) There may be a lot of
boats around the launch area.
Don't let that stop you. Come in
full bore. Show'em you're a
tiger.
16) If you see a guy sitting in
a fishing boat, wash him down.
He'll enjoy the motion of his
rocking boat.
