Personal Watercraft and Jet Skis

In Louisiana, a person must be at least 16 years old to legally operate a personal watercraft (PWC) alone. However, individuals aged 12 to 15 can operate a PWC if they have completed an approved boating safety course and are accompanied by an adult. It's essential to adhere to these regulations to ensure safety and compliance while on the water.

In Ohio, a lanyard-type engine cut-off switch must be properly attached to the operator's clothing while operating a personal watercraft (PWC), such as jet skis. This safety feature is designed to shut off the engine if the operator falls off, preventing the watercraft from continuing uncontrolled. It is a crucial safety requirement aimed at reducing accidents and enhancing operator safety.

The minimum distance that a jet ski must maintain from anyone being towed behind another vessel varies by jurisdiction, but it is generally recommended to keep at least 100 feet away to ensure safety. This distance helps prevent accidents and allows enough space for the person being towed to maneuver safely. Always check local laws and regulations for specific requirements in your area.

In Michigan, the legal age to operate a jet ski (or personal watercraft) is 14 years old, provided the individual has completed a boater safety course and possesses a valid boating safety certificate. Those under 14 must be accompanied by someone who is at least 17 years old and holds a valid boating safety certificate. It's important to follow all safety guidelines and regulations while operating watercraft.

To run a VIN number on a jet ski, you can start by checking the manufacturer's label typically located on the transom or under the seat for the VIN. Once you have the VIN, you can use online services or databases designed for watercraft, like the National Vessel Documentation Center or state DMV websites, to check for registration history, ownership records, and any reported accidents or liens. Additionally, some third-party services offer comprehensive history reports for a fee. Always ensure you're using reputable sources for accurate information.

"well the reason this has not been answered is that there is technically no such thing as a reverse microwave, so if you find an answer sell it to some company like GE and make millions"

That's not quite true. Yes it is true that there is not a reverse microwave as far as process goes. There is a device which is being worked on currently that uses magnetic fields to put molecules from a chaotic movement (heat) into a more ordered movement (cold). This link has a lot of information about magnetic refrigeration.
