[@hardinlong8849]

You stupid

[@pflaffik]

Minimum wake is very subjective and open for interpretation, AND varies substantially from boat to boat. In a court the police will have to prove that the speed was actually as high as the officers estimated, and the manatees were in real danger at that speed compared to 1 knot slower. It cannot be proven so the case has to be dismissed, and it would be dismissed already at the police attorneys desk.

If the 5 knots limit is there to protect the sea mammals present in the upper water column, then the most interesting speed is the speed through the water (STW). It the outgoing stream has a speed of 5 knots, it may be impossible to protect the mammals if returning home from the sea.

General rule is if your Bow is up in these manatee zones u will be pulled over. I have a Formula and ya kinda have to keep speed up to 6-7 knots to have control. When I got pulled over I was very courteous he explained the Bow up scenario and let me go. Swallow your pride yes sir no sir generally it’s all it takes unless what u r doing is completely out of hand!

You can't judge if the officers were courteous or not, we couldn't hear the conversation. Also some people talk with their hands a lot it doesn't mean it's disrespectful
