What is a motorboat is crossing paths with a pwc what action should be taken?

When a motorboat is crossing paths with a personal watercraft (PWC), both operators should take caution to avoid a collision. The general rule of thumb in this situation is for the motorboat to yield to the PWC, as PWCs are generally more maneuverable and can change course more quickly.

The operator of the motorboat should slow down and alter their course to avoid coming too close to the PWC. They should also make sure to keep a safe distance and give the PWC plenty of space to maneuver.

Conversely, the operator of the PWC should also be aware of the motorboat and be prepared to take evasive action if necessary. They should also maintain a safe distance and be prepared to change course to avoid a collision.

Both operators should always be vigilant and maintain a proper lookout to ensure the safety of everyone on the water. Communication between the two operators can also help in coordinating their movements and avoiding any potential conflicts.
