In Wisconsin, which action is legal for a PWC operator?

Riding without a life jacket

Attaching the lanyard of the engine cut-off switch to the operator's clothing or PFD

The action of attaching the lanyard of the engine cut-off switch to the operator's clothing or personal floatation device (PFD) is considered legal and is a safety requirement for operating a personal watercraft (PWC) in Wisconsin. This practice is important because it ensures the engine will shut off if the operator falls off the PWC, reducing the risk of runaway craft that could pose a danger to both the operator and others on the water.

This safety feature promotes responsible boating practices by encouraging operators to be secured to the craft while in motion, enhancing the operator's safety and increasing overall boating safety on Wisconsin waters. Adhering to this practice is not only legal but is also crucial for protecting the life and safety of the operator and passengers.

In contrast, other options listed are not legal or safe practices when operating a PWC in Wisconsin and are against boating safety regulations.

Operating at night without lights

Carrying more passengers than the vessel capacity
