Answer and Explanation:

When reboarding a Personal Watercraft (PWC) after a fall, the appropriate way to roll the vessel is to rotate it to a 90-degree angle to the waterline, and then gradually pull it towards you using the reboarding ladder, if available. Most PWCs carry a label on the hull that indicates the direction that the PWC should be rolled. Be sure to right the PWC in the direction that the label indicates. To reboard the PWC, approach it from the stern and pull yourself up onto your knees on the boarding platform. From there, continue to pull yourself back up on the seat. Be sure to attach the kill switch lanyard to the kill switch and to your body or PFD. Start up and get back underway.
