NO WAKE
A wakeless (idle) speed is defined as an operating speed at which the vessel does not create or make a wake or white water trailing the vessel. This speed is not to be in excess of five (5) miles per hour.
A wakeless (idle) speed is required within an area designated as a "Slow, No Wake" zone.
Utah's Speed and Proximity Law states that operators are required to reduce to wakeless (idle) speed when within 150 of the following:
-
another boat,
-
persons in or floating on the water,
-
water skiers towed by another boat,
-
A water skier that had been towed behind another vessel and the skier is still standing or riding in an upright stance on the wake created by the other vessel
-
shore anglers,
-
launch ramps, docks, or designated swimming areas.
The operator of a motorboat is responsible for any damage and/or injury caused by the wake produced by his vessel.
