“Although I've been involved in towed watersports nearly my whole life, having some guidelines to help my family and I get started would have been very beneficial. Over the past few years, we've welcomed many new families to the towed watersports world, and the Mercury Boating Basics series is just what they need to get started safely and with confidence.”
—Dylan Miller, Professional Wakeboarder

“With freedom on the water comes responsibility. In the last few years, we’ve welcomed thousands of new people into our community who share our passion for spending time on the water. We need to make sure that every boater not only feels welcome but is prepared to boat responsibly. That’s why we created the Mercury Boating Basics series. It’s a valuable resource for any boater and a great addition to a boater’s safety course for beginners."
—Pete Chisholm, Mercury Product Safety Engineer and U.S. Coast Guard National Boating Safety Advisory Committee Member
