When operating a boat, appointed lookouts should be in place at all times, especially in busy or restricted waterways, during low visibility conditions such as fog or nighttime, and when navigating through potentially hazardous areas. Lookouts help monitor for other vessels, obstacles, and changing environmental conditions, enhancing overall safety. Their presence is crucial for effective communication and timely responses to any potential dangers.

When operating in conditions of reduced visibility, it's crucial to slow down and maintain a safe following distance to allow for reaction time. Use low-beam headlights and fog lights to improve visibility without blinding other drivers. Additionally, rely on other senses, such as sound, to detect surrounding vehicles or obstacles, and stay alert for any changes in the environment. Always be prepared to pull over safely if conditions worsen.
