No wake speed varies from state to state. In Arizona, the term used is wakeless speed. It is defined as "a speed that does not cause the watercraft to create a wake, but in no case in excess of five miles per hour."
The general interpretation is that if your watercraft creates such a wake that it breaks, or otherwise generates what is called "white water", or water that has been disturbed enough that it creates bubbles or visible waves of any size, you are traveling above no wake speed.
If you place your watercraft engine in gear, and add no additional engine speed once the propeller engages, you should be traveling at an adequate speed to not generate a wake; idle speed. I would say this could be from 600-800 engine RPM's.
Check your specific state's boating laws, however, to find the correct interpretation of no wake or wakeless speed in your state.

What is a vessel operator required to do in a manatee protection zone marked slow down?
Per Florida state law, all motorized vessels within that protected zone are to slow to a non wake speed. That means if the speed of the boat creates visible turbulance behind (or "in its wake"), that boat is going too fast.
In Nevada you must slow to no wake speed when you get within how close to another boat or PWC?
In Nevada, boaters must slow to no-wake speed when they are within 150 feet of another boat or personal watercraft (PWC). This rule helps ensure the safety of all waterway users and minimizes the wake that can affect nearby vessels. Always be mindful of your surroundings and maintain a safe distance to prevent accidents.
Slow speed minimum wake means what?
"Slow speed minimum wake" typically refers to operating a boat or watercraft at a reduced speed in order to minimize the disturbance or waves created in the surrounding water. This is usually required in areas where the water is shallow, near docks, or in areas with swimmers or wildlife to prevent damage or harm.

In Oregon, you must proceed at slow-no-wake speed when operating a boat or PWC within 200 feet of a boat launch or moorage area.
Where may you legally operate your boat and greater than slow no wake speed?
You may legally operate your boat at greater than slow no wake speed in designated areas such as open waters, away from crowded shorelines, docks, or moored vessels. Additionally, certain lakes and rivers may have specific zones marked for higher speeds. Always check local regulations and signage to ensure compliance with speed limits in specific areas.
