Be sure the engine is OFF before anyone gets in the water.
When pulling in to the town docks, have a hand on either side of the boat to fend off other boats that are already docked. Keep track of your place in line while waiting for dock space.

On my boat, I amend "Be sure the engine is OFF before anyone gets in the water" by adding "and the key is out of the ignition."
For me, that means I have to have two distinct actions to start the boat: Put the key in, and then start the engine. Just my thing, as taught by my dad.
