My guess is they consider the engine hatch the transom.

Now I also guessing if you were standing like the boy in the picture with the boat at any meaningful speed, they could cite you for:

270:29-a Careless and Negligent Operation of Boats. – Any person who shall operate a power boat upon any waters of the state in a careless and negligent manner or so that the lives and safety of the public are endangered shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
