When a motorboat is crossing paths with a Personal Watercraft (PWC), the motorboat should take action to avoid a collision, as PWCs are generally considered "give way" vessels. The motorboat should slow down, steer clear, and ensure it has a safe distance from the PWC. Additionally, the operator of the motorboat should maintain a lookout and be aware of the PWC's movements to prevent any accidents. Safety and communication are key in such interactions on the water.
When a motor boat is crossing paths with a PWC it should give way to all vessels on your starboard side.
You should give way to starboard.
Both boat pilots should have already been in complete awareness of their surroundings. If either saw another craft approaching they should take immediate action to steer way clear of the other vessel. Leave yourself and out ... it is likely that the other pilot has not taken the time to observe his or her surroundings. As a boat pilot you must always keep your head on a swivel, constantly turning and looking in every direction for other boat traffic.

A sailboat under sail is about to cross paths with a PWC. What action should be taken?
Both vessels are Power Driven Vessels - Rule 15 applies. Whichever has the other on her starboard hand must give way.
When two power boats are crossing paths, the "rule of the road" applies: the boat on the right (starboard side) has the right of way. The other boat should yield by altering its course to avoid a collision. If both boats are on a collision course, the vessel that is not on the right should take action to steer clear. Always maintain vigilance and communicate with other boaters to ensure safety.

Power-driven vessels should yield to other vessels when they are overtaking, approaching head-on, or crossing paths.
