New Water Safety Test for Winnebago!
 
Summer is on it's way!  As in 2010, a Water Safety Test must be taken and passed before the HOA can issue any 2011 Boat Permits.  This year, every member of the household who operates a watercraft MUST take and pass the test.  Boat Patrol will have a copy of the list of everyone who has completed the test.  
 
Remember, this is an open book test.  Please use the updated Watercraft Regulations to help get the correct answer on the test.  The goal is education--we want everyone to pass!!!
 
Please use an Answer Sheet per person to record your answers, and submit only that page.  That way, you only have to download and print one copy of the test, and can print as many copies of the Answer Sheet as needed.
 
The test is also being sent with the Boat and Dock application mailing.  Residents should receive that packet in the third week of March.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the HOA office at (816) 537-7273. 
 
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping Lake Winnebago a safe place to spend the summer!!
 
 
 
 
 

Length & Weight Requirements
 
The following are the maximum length/weight requirements for watercraft permitted to Lake Winnebago:
  • No watercraft shall exceed 3400 lbs dry weight.
  • Pontoons shall not exceed 28'.
  • Other watercraft shall not exceed 20' 0".  However, if the dry weight is 3100 lbs or less, maximum allowable length is 20' 6".
  • Personal watercraft shall be limited to 800 cc or 4-stroke engines shall be limited to 140 hp.
All "new-to-you" watercraft must be approved by the Boat Committee, and there can be an up-to 10 day approval process time.  The safest policy is to provide the HOA with watercraft specs for approval before purchasing.
