Yeah, the regs say that the stand-on vessel shall maintain course and speed
when being overtaken. However, especially in narrow channels, guys that are
much faster and throwing a big bow wave, will usually give you a chance to
pull over and slow for an easy pass. Still, you are correct, every boat
operator is liable for damage by their wake.

=Since when is the stand down vessel supposed to throttle back when being

=owner, throttles back when passing, slows way down if passing kayaks, or
