A "wake" refers to the path of moving waves a boat leaves behind it and is a product of the boat size, weight, hull shape, boat speed, boat trim and water depth. All boats create a wake and all boaters are responsible for their wake. You can be proactive and reduce the wake simply by changing how you operate your boat.
Watch your Speed:
As the boat operator, it can be easy to control your wake. Understanding the speeds under which your boat operates is the first step.
