Personal Watercraft Insurance – Safely Riding Your PWC
Saturday, Jul. 30th 2022 6:16 AM

While PWC might not have any rudder or propeller extending below the hull bottom, the extreme pressure of water exiting the jet pump can still do damage in shallow conditions. Riding in shallow waters can also cause damage to your craft because the suction of the pump can draw in sand, rocks and other debris in waters less than 3 feet deep.
