The jet trust requires power to make turns, so if you get in trouble you can't let off the throttle and turn, the operator must apply power to make a turn otherwise the ski will track forward.<br /><br />Every person operating, riding on, or being towed behind a personal watercraft must wear an approved non-inflatable <a href="http://slipperywetsuits.com/">personal flotation device</a> (PFD) and must attach the Emergency engine cutoff switch lanyard (if equipped by the manufacturer) to his/her person.<br /><br />States vary on what time of day a PWC Can be operated; the Florida law states that "PWC may never be operated from ½ hour after sunset to ½ hour before sunrise, even if navigation lights are used." In Michigan you are require to get off the water 1 hour prior to sunset. the State of Florida requires that operaters must be at least 14 years of age to operate a personal watercraft in this state and at least 18 years of age to rent a personal watercraft.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/189115881848669022-7774091238936805549?l=pwc-laws.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Typhoon Tommy Water Shows - Jet Ski freestyle and more!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09771435161603446690noreply@blogger.com0
