=<< Cut us power boaters some slack. If we see your exhaust we will expect
Cut us some slack. If it's night out, unless it's pretty cold, you'll not
be seeing anything from our exhaust at a distance, unless we're powered by a
big Pratt & Whitney Radial engine of some sort. Gee, if you've never read a
chart by the pale blue flickering exhaust of a big radial engine, you just
haven't flown.
I also saw a rather legalistic discussion of what "in use" meant. However,
that discussion stuck to a reading of the law while failing to mention the
various court interpretations of the wording. I think it was Hugo Black
that said, "the Law is what I say it is."
In any event, this legalistic discussion has do with legal wrangling after
the collision. I still think it's the best policy to avoid close proximity
with any hard object by day or by night, be it boat, rock, or piling.
It is, of course, "easier to stay out than to get out".
