Navigation Rules
Your PWC is classified as a Class A inboard
boat. Because of this, you need to know and
obey the rules of the waterway. They
’ re like
traffic rules, and establish who has the right
of way on the water. These rules are used
internationally and are enforced by the U.S.
Coast Guard and other local agencies.
The information in this section provides the
basic rules. We highly recommend that you
get more information about navigation from
your state when you register your personal
watercraft. Take a boat handling and
seamanship course from the Coast Guard
Auxiliary, the U. S. Power Squadron, or a
volunteer organization. These groups can
provide you with detailed training on
navigation rules and other important
information.
