I had a friend on my boat 2 weekends ago who told me he was considering getting his own pontoon boat and asked me what I considered to be the primary and most important rules of the road while boating. I've posted these rules before, I will post them again. I live by these rules.
1. I never, ever have the right of way, I will gladly give way to any other boat or boater no matter how we may be converging.
2. When in doubt, refer to rule # 1.
Stay happy, and safe.

I would add to that
3, Always remember Capt. Bonehead can just as easily sneak up from behind as he can from the front and side. Always scan 360 deg to stay safe.
