You are correct of course. My legal team has not responded though. LOL
The 115 pound thrust is one I misread, and you are correct, my electric bow has 80 pounds of thrust, so it would not take much.
Still, my other points remain, does this law actually help anyone and will it even be enforced?
The boat I chased down had an angler reaching out of his boat to get the downrigger wire when a small wave caused him to loose balance. As we age, and I meet that requirement, our balance changes and ..................... OK, you get the point.
My old motor does have the kill switch and I usually do use it. I have had times when I could not figure out why the motor would not start and realised it was because the kill switch cord was still attached to my life jacket and I had forgot to disconnect it. ROFLOL
So, how many of you know someone, or heard of someone, that has fallen out of a boat when they were operating it on plane speed? I think we can all think of times at lower speeds, trolling speeds, but at faster speeds?
Rocky, can you explain the "real" intent of this law? I admit I am still very
