Simple things like leaving the bung in the car, forgetting to untie the boat from the trailer and not using your handbrake when getting out of the car.
Setting Off
Start your engine, allowing it to warm up before you set off. Untie any mooring ropes from the jetty or wharf, leaving them tied to the boat, coiled and ready for future use. Make sure all ropes are inside the boat and not trailing in the water where they can be caught in the propeller.
Check that the area is clear of traffic before moving away, taking note of any speed limits or ‘no wash’ signs that may be in the area. Be careful not to create excessive wash when passing anglers (people fishing), passive craft or moored boats to avoid rocking them about.
Keep to the right side of the channel (see the section on Navigation Markers for more information).
