How the two vessels are propelled
In reduced visibility, it means the presence of another watercraft.
When a motorboat and a personal watercraft (PWC) are meeting head-on, the motorboat is typically considered the stand-on vessel. According to maritime navigation rules, the stand-on vessel is the one that must maintain its course and speed, while the give-way vessel (in this case, the PWC) must take action to avoid a collision. Therefore, the PWC should alter its course to ensure a safe passage.
