§ 3309. Muffling devices
The exhaust of every internal combustion engine used on any motorboat shall be effectively
muffled by equipment so constructed and used as to muffle the noise of the exhaust
in a manner that reduces the maximum machine operating noise level to not more than
82 decibels on the A scale at 50 feet, in a normal operating environment. The use
of cutouts is prohibited except for motorboats competing in a regatta or boat race
approved as provided in section 3316 of this title, and for such motorboats while on trial runs, during a period not to exceed 48 hours
immediately preceding such regatta or race and for such motorboats while competing
in official trials for speed records during a period not to exceed 48 hours immediately
following such regatta or race. (Added 1983, No. 212 (Adj. Sess.), § 2; amended 1989, No. 65, § 6.)
