§ 63-4210.6. Sitting and standing in vessel while under way

No person shall sit or ride on the sides of any vessel or the

back of any seat of a vessel while under way at any speed greater

than idle or trolling speed; provided, however, the operator of such

vessel may stand if said vessel is specifically designed to be

operated from a standing position. No person shall sit or ride on

the covered bow of any vessel while under way at any speed greater

than idle or trolling speed unless such vessel is designed as such

to allow access to the covered bow by way of side walkways or

factory-equipped walk-through areas which are surrounded by life

rails, deck rails, bow rails, or other such enclosure extending at

least twenty-four (24) inches above the deck; provided, that no

person riding in or operating a vessel shall extend any appendage

over the edge of the vessel either above or below the rail if such

vessel is at any speed greater than idle or trolling speed. No

person shall stand on the covered bow of any vessel while under way

at a speed greater than idle or trolling speed.
