Personal Watercraft Insurance – Ski or Open Zones
Friday, Apr. 2nd 2021 5:50 AM
Any person who rides or attempts to ride upon water skis or similar device or who skis barefoot or any boat operator who tows a skier shall confine that activity within a designated ski zone or open zone.
- Exceptions exist for Lake Erie and the Ohio River where these zones have not been established.
- This regulation does not apply if the vessel is traveling at idle speed in a designated “no wake” area and is not within:
1) An anchorage area, a boat swimming area, or a boat camping area
2) 300 feet of a gas dock, launch ramp, harbor entrance, or bridge underpass
3) Any area designated as a “no ski” zone
