- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Children under 13 must wear one whenever a boat under 26 feet is under way, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one.
- Anyone towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber needs an observer 13 or older on board besides the driver, or a wide-angle rearview mirror, and towing isn't allowed from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise.
- Jet skis may not be ridden from sunset to sunrise, must stay at slow headway speed within 50 feet of other boats, people, docks and the shore, may not jump wakes recklessly close to other boats, and the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver.
