Observe the navigational guidelines.
Pay heed to the signs that direct you.
Keep a close eye on everything and designate one person as the "lookout."
Maintain a safe speed, especially at night and in congested traffic.
Before making any turn, take a thorough look around.
You should keep a good look out in order to avoid colliding with another boat.
Boat pilots need to keep their head on a constant swivel looking out for other craft at ALL times. There are no traffic lanes out on the water like on land.
If about to hit another head on, always turn right.
Be vigilant and careful

Don't stand up in a small boat.
Anchor from the bow rather than the stern to avoid capsizing or swamping a boat.
One place to avoid anchoring a boat would be to not anchor it near a launching ramp.
You should already be aware of a boat approaching from astern ... your head needs to be on a swivel as the pilot at all times. You need to know everything about your surroundings. If you hear this signal you should probably slow down and let them pass safely. Don't crowd them or try to out run them.
When you see green and white lights on another boat, you should slow down. This means that you are approaching another boat and you should reduce your speed.
When retrieving a boat at a ramp avoid power loading onto the trailer.
