The first thing you should do is consult a chart of the waterway in which you are planning on boating. Make sure that the chart you use is suitable for navigation (some maps and charts are not and will usually specify). It may also be helpful to ask around at a local marina or bait shop to see if there are any obstructions that may not be documented yet. Finally, stay between the channel markers or bouys, provided they exist in the body of water you will be using. If there are no markers of any kind and you are unable to read the water, play it safe and keep you boat at idle and watch your sonar.
