Personal Watercraft A PWC is a BOAT Personal Watercraft (PWC) If you have not defined a PWC to this point spend some time as follows: A PWC is a powerboat that is designed to be operated by one person who either sits, kneels or stands on the vessel. Anyone who operates a PWC is a skipper with the same responsibilities as the operator of a 40’ boat. PWC’s are subject to the same laws as other boats with a few designed specifically for PWC’s. Safety Lanyard – short cord for attaching ignition safety switch to your wrist or PFD. The lanyard should be attached to the driver at all times. In case the operator suffers an accident and falls overboard the lanyard will pull from its safe position thus causing the engine to stop. NEVER operate a PWC without a safety lanyard in use. Steering Control – a means of controlling the steering nozzle (next slide) Copyright 2005 - Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
