If you're operating a personal watercraft (PWC), it's important to be aware of the potential blind spots that could block other boats from seeing you. Here are some things that are most likely to create a blind spot:
1. Being too close to another boat or object - If you're too close to another boat or object, it can block the view of other boats and create a blind spot.
2. Not having your lights on - PWCs are required by law to have their navigation lights on at all times when underway. If you don't have your lights on, other boats may not see you.
3. Wearing dark clothing - If you're wearing dark clothing, it can make it more difficult for other boats to see you. Try to wear bright or reflective clothing if possible.
4. Operating at night - It's generally more difficult for other boats to see PWCs at night, so it's important to use extra caution and be especially aware of Blind Spots when operating during these hours
