Call the rental company first and follow its emergency instructions rather than attempting to repair or tow the boat yourself. Reputable operators should explain before departure whom to call for mechanical problems, grounding, a dead battery or another situation that leaves you unable to return. Keep the company's phone number saved, maintain enough phone battery to communicate, and be prepared to describe your location using landmarks or your phone's map. For an immediate life-threatening emergency, call 911 or the appropriate emergency service rather than waiting for rental-company assistance.
