Boating Education Required for Oregon Boaters 60 or younger
in 2007
Boaters
50 and younger must now carry a boater education card when
operating powerboats (including personal watercraft or any
motorized watercraft) greater than 10 hp. Law enforcement
officers are issuing citations for non-compliance with the
Mandatory Education Law. The citation fines are $97.
Youth
12-15 also need a boater education card when operating boats
0-10 hp alone. When operating over 10 hp, a card-holding
adult (16 or older, 18 for personal watercraft) must be in
direct supervision (on-board, and able to immediately take
corrective action in case of emergency).
There are
many different options available to help you meet the
requirements of this law. For more information visit:
