Pennsylvania boating rules to know
- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Children 12 and under must wear one on boats 20 feet or less, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one. Inflatable life jackets don't count for jet skis or towing.
- Towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber requires a competent observer besides the driver, and towing isn't allowed between sunset and sunrise. Wakesurfing is only allowed behind boats built for it, like our MasterCraft inboards.
- Jet skis can't be operated between sunset and sunrise, and the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver.
- Stay at slow, no-wake speed within 100 feet of the shoreline, docks, launch ramps, swimmers, downed skiers and anchored boats.
