No person shall operate any motorboat or sailboat while he is under
the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotics or harmful drugs, as defined
by statute.
No person shall operate any motorboat or use any water skis, surfboards
or similar devices negligently or willfully so as to endanger the lives or
safety of the public or use water skis, surfboards or similar devices thereon
in the nighttime.
No person shall operate any motorboat towing a person or persons on
water skis, a surfboard or other similar device, unless there is in such motorboat
a competent person, in addition to the operator, in a position to observe
the person or persons being towed and unless such motorboat is equipped with
a ladder, steps or similar means by which any person being towed can be taken
from the water and a Coast Guard-approved lifesaving device for each person.
All motorboats must be operated at a safe distance to prevent their
wash from being thrown into or causing excessive rocking to other boats, rafts,
floats or bathing beaches. When passing within one hundred (100) feet of any
raft, float, dock, bathing beach or other boat, motorboats shall be operated
at a reduced and reasonable speed so as not to cause inconvenience or danger
to others.
Where the operator's vision is obscured or under bridges or on
bends and curves, motorboats shall be operated at not more than headway speed
[six (6) miles per hour].
All boats must use the underpass on their starboard or right-hand side
when negotiating the Leino Park bridge, Wyman Lake.
All boats operating between sunset to sunrise must be equipped with
proper running lights as prescribed by the state boating laws.
In all cases not covered by this chapter, the Coast Guard Regulations
will apply.
