Tunnels

There are wide tunnels, narrow tunnels and low tunnels all requiring different attention.  Just like bridges and narrow sections they represent a hazard where you might come into conflict with other boats.

Signs should tell you whether it is possible to pass another boat coming in the opposite direction safely in the tunnel. The many waterway guides are also useful for this information.

If you do meet another boat then slow down to engine tick over well before you meet. If you do touch either the other boat or the side of the tunnel the damage will be much reduced at low speed.
