Personal watercrafts (PWC) are a fun way to spend time out on the Lake with your friends and family. While we love to spend time out on the boat cruising the Lake and relaxing in the coves, PWCs are a whole different type of excitement. Compared to a boat, PWCs can be quickly launched out without much time getting ready and can easily be hauled from one point to another. However, they still need to be properly taken care of so you can enjoy long days out on the Lake on your PWC. 1.

During the summer, you will probably spend a lot of time at the docks. Whether you're enjoying one of the many waterfront restaurants, fueling up or storing your boat, you can't avoid the docks when you're at the Lake. Because you're spending a lot of time at the docks during your day out on the water, you want to make sure it's a good experience. Here are a few pointers to help you be a good dock slip neighbor. Photo Credit: FunLake.com 1. Watch your wake. When entering or leaving a dock, make sure to keep your speed down. Not only can big wakes in small, crowded places be dangerous, it's a good way to anger those around you. Be sure to respect the wake rule to make sure everyone else around you is safe. 2. Help each other out. While many gas docks, restaurants and marinas around the Lake have employees nearby to help you out, be prepared to help your fellow boaters.
