Personal Watercraft Insurance, Am I required by law to install a kill switch on a personal watercraft?
Saturday, Apr. 9th 2016 8:44 AM
California does not require the installation of a kill switch on personal watercraft or any other vessels used in the state. However, on vessels equipped by the manufacturer with a lanyard, California law does require the operator to use it by attaching the lanyard to his or her person, clothing, or personal flotation device, as appropriate for the specific vessel. (Reference: Section 65537(a) of the California Harbors and Navigation Code)
