This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Introduce new legislation to ban the use of propeller driven boats below 10 meters in length which do not have a propeller guard fitted.
More details
There is nothing more dangerous in the water than a sharp propeller spinning at a huge number of revolutions as it comes into contact with human or other flesh in the water. It is a simple matter to install a propeller guard cage to prevent this contact happening. It is vital, however, that the legislation includes confiscation and destruction, without appeal, when boats are found not to have a guard fitted when it is on the water.
