- Do not anchor in a position that obstructs a passageway ordinarily used by other vessels.
- Do not operate your boat within 20 feet of the exterior boundary of a designated swimming area marked by white and orange buoys.
- Do not operate a boat within 75 feet of a person engaged in fishing or hunting waterfowl unless it is unavoidable. If unavoidable travel at no wake speed or at the minimum speed necessary to maintain upstream progress.
- Do not operate a motorboat within 200 feet of a tow-float or buoy displaying a red flag with a white slash indicating a “diver down” except by use of sailor oar. In an emergency or if there is insufficient water on either side to avoid passing through the 200-foot safety zone, do not exceed the “no wake” speed. (Note: the burden of proof of the necessity of passing through the safety zone is on the boat operator.) See Diver Down Flag Warning.
- Do not operate or beach your motorboat within a designated swimming area.
- Do not operate your motorboat within 50 feet of a swimmer in the water except for boats towing water skiers.
