What constitutes improper speed or distance on the water?

  1. Traveling at 'slow, no wake speed' in a 'no wake' zone

  2. At greater than 'slow, no wake speed' in any posted 'no wake' zone

  3. Maintaining a consistent speed

  4. Following all posted speed limits

The correct answer is: At greater than 'slow, no wake speed' in any posted 'no wake' zone

Traveling at 'slow, no wake speed' in a 'no wake' zone is incorrect because it is the proper speed to maintain in a 'no wake' zone. Maintaining a consistent speed may also be considered improper as it does not take into account changing conditions or hazards on the water. Following all posted speed limits is also not enough to ensure safety, as certain zones may require slower speeds due to congestion or narrow passages. Therefore, the only option that properly lists the criteria for improper speed or distance on the water is option B, as it specifies going greater than the designated slow speed in any posted 'no wake' zone.
