§ 114-49. Muffling and noise devices.

Latest version.

The exhaust of every internal combustion engine used on any vessel shall be effectively muffled by equipment so constructed and used as to muffle the noise of the exhaust in a reasonable manner. The use of cutouts is prohibited, except for vessels competing in a regatta or official boat race and for such vessels while on trial runs. No person shall use any siren or other noise producing or amplifying instrument in a vessel in such manner that the peace and good order of the citizens are disturbed; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the use of whistles, bells or horns as signals as required by the United States Motorboat Act or other federal or state law for the safe navigation of vessels.

(Code 1970, § 2¾-22; Ord. No. 88-31, § 21, 11-29-88; Ord. No. 93-04, § 20(2¾-22), 1-26-93)
