Waterskiing etiquette and 150' rule

[BroadHopper]

I have to drop of my ski(s) along the 150' of safe passage. I had one ski chopped up by a propeller and I had skis picked up by the Marine Patrol twice. The MP consider the skis a hazard. I did not get a warning or ticket but I had to wait up to 4 hours for them to return the ski. I had to sign a form as proof of ownership.

I always drop off the skis as close to the dock as possible and out of boat traffic. Is there anyone that had the same problem?
