The operator needs to be at least 150 ft from shore. This should disperse a wave enough to have a minor impact on a shore front. Perhaps it should be increased to 300ft like the jet ski limits.

But remember the wind generated waves can be at times around 10 feet high and constant waves hitting a shore front. Thats why you will see a lot of breakwater docks, mooring buoys, and docking whips around the large open areas of the lake. Your shore front and docking system should handle large wakes, not only from the once in a while boat wake but in case a storm and wind direction hits your shore front. We are unable to limit mother nature at this time. Sometimes you have to deal with it.
