Do not exceed limits of capacity plate
When loading a small boat, it's crucial to distribute weight evenly to maintain balance and stability. Ensure that heavier items are placed low and centrally to lower the center of gravity. Additionally, secure all gear and equipment to prevent shifting during transit. Always check the boat's weight capacity to avoid overloading.
Exceeding any of the limits listed on the capacity plate is an unsafe practice. Overloading small boats can result in capsize or falls overboard, the leading cause of boating fatalities in the United States.
