Wednesday, Jun. 8th 2022 6:34 AM
PWCs are subject to the same safety equipment requirements as other vessels. In addition to those requirements:
- No person shall operate or allow operation of a PWC unless each person riding or being towed is wearing a type I, II, III, or V personal flotation device approved by the US Coast Guard. (Inflatable PFDs do not satisfy this requirement).
- If the PWC is equipped by the manufacturer with a lanyardtype cut-off switch, it must be attached to the person operating.
