Why should you avoid operating your motorboat or PWC in shallow water faster than idle speed?
Operating your motorboat or PWC in shallow water faster than idle speed can cause significant damage to the vessel and the environment. The propeller can disturb the sediment, harming aquatic habitats and potentially injuring marine life. Additionally, running at higher speeds can lead to the risk of grounding or striking submerged objects, which can damage the boat and pose safety hazards to passengers. It's essential to prioritize safety and environmental protection by adhering to idle speed in shallow areas.
