How do life jackets work?

Life jackets provide positive buoyancy to those wearing them when submersed in water. Check the specifics of the life jacket to ensure that it will provide the expected results for the activity it will be used during.

Make sure that it fits properly, is correctly worn, and that the life jacket is in good condition.

Can a jet-ski go 90 mph?

Depends on what you mean by "can". There's no physical or engineering limit preventing those speeds, but I don't think that any stock jet ski will be that fast. It'd be quite dangerous and difficult to control at those speeds and if you fell off, you'd lose an awful lot of skin. By law in the United States, jet skis cannot operate above 68 miles per hour. The world record is over 100 miles per hour.

place wires on the pos. and neg. battery terminals as in any vehicle and connect them to a another running cars batteries or a battery charger/jumper (battery is located under the back seat) Since the battery on the Aurora in under the rear seat, it is better to open the hood and connect to the positive terminal on the passenger side of the car next to the fuse block.

What is the minimium age for driving a boat unattended?

At this point in time, there is no federal law covering minimum ages for boaters, but many states have minimum ages and licensing requirements. See the link below for information on a state by state basis. Boating education courses are inexpensive, and very worthwhile if you are a boater. Most states are moving towards licensing, so even if your state has no requirements at the present time, if you take a boating safety course now, you will in all probability be grandfathered in if, and when, your state does adopt boating educational requirements. The US Power Squadron has a nationally recognized boating education program in most, if not all, states.

Yes. You can crank and start a jet ski out of the water. However, without water, there will be no cooling for the engine, exhaust, and driveline.
