I always wonder when they say have boaters use silent choice how we are suppose to do that and not damage the motors.

From the news article:

"So the biggest thing we want to do is educate boaters," (Lt./Sheriff Dept.) Richards said. "Let them know if they are over or under the limit."

In some cases, he said, boaters may be requested to close their "flap exhaust," which is designed to reduce noise.



I can think of a couple people that need to close their exhaust flaps, namely Bill Henne and Nancy Ferguson.
If I drive by their homes and their faces annoy me, will the local constabulary make them put paper bags over their heads?
