E e RULES OF THE ROAD Your Yamaha water vehicle is legally considered a power boat. Operation of the water vehicle must be in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the waterway on which it is used. Just as there are rules which apply when you are driving on streets and highways, there are waterway rules which apply when you are riding your water vehicle. These rules are used internationally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies.
In either words, follow the standard rules except when a collision will occur unless both vessels try to avoid each other.
Overtaking If you are passing another vessel, you are the “Give-Way” vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way until you are clear of it. Likewise, if another vessel is passing you, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you. OTHER SPECIAL SITUATIONS There are three other rules you should be aware of when riding your water vehicle around other vessels.
