Hey all, I have a question, I have a fellow co worker that stated that you can pull a skier without having a spotter here in ohio , as long as you have a wide angle rear view mirror. I believe this is incorrect, however I may be wrong. I looked it up and can only find that you must have a spotter atleast the age of 12( I believe). Any one know for sure on the rear view mirror? thanks

We always use a spotter! (Always will also) :D

From the Ohio Boat Operators Guide http://watercraft.ohiodnr.gov/operatorsguide


Quote:
ORC 1547.15
Any person who operates a vessel towing a person on water skis, surfboard, other similar devices or barefoot skier shall have an observer ten years of age or older in the vessel who shall at all times observe the person being towed. The vessel operator shall observe the traffic pattern. No person shall permit operation of a vessel in violation of this section.


You should really pick up a copy and read it. I keep a copy on the boat also.

Oh I read it but this guy was stating that it has changed and it was legal for you to not have a spotter. I disagreed. I read the exact statement you posted . Thanks :D
