Appropriate type and size life jackets are required for every person on board the vessel including non-motorized canoes, kayaks, etc. Life jackets only work when you wear them.

All passengers must be seated inside the vessel when under power. Be a defensive operator, and expect the unexpected. Navigation lights are required from sunset to sunrise. Special laws apply to PWC's and drive sober.
