MOB Priorities

A man-overboard recovery by powerboat is built around propeller safety, keeping the casualty in sight, controlling the boat, and recovering without running over the person.

The first actions are shout, point, keep visual contact, reduce speed, consider neutral, and organise crew. The exact turn and approach depend on conditions, boat type, and training.

  • Shout and point continuously.
  • Keep the casualty in sight.
  • Control speed and propeller risk.
  • Approach under control, not panic.
