Default MP and those who rent watercrafts

I might as well enter my 2 cents worth.
I've been on this lake for over 40 years and I find the biggest problems comes from those who rent watercrafts and new watercraft owners. These people do not know the laws, regulation and 'rules of the road'. One PWC renter was killed a while ago because he zipped in front of a boat speeding out of the Weirs Channel. Definitely a no brainer!
I would like to see that renters and new watercraft owners pass a boater's safety course before they venture out. That will cut down the number of unsafe boating.
Based on my experience with the MP last summer, the MP needs to train their people. I posted somewhere on this forum where the MP did not know the basis of night lights: What is an anchor light and what lights should be on when headway.
