I would estimate that less than 5% of boats with these switches, have illegal exhaust systems.
I live on an island and wish my neighbors had these switches in their boat, especially when they come home late at night!
Allow boats to show courtesy and legalize exhaust switching technology!!

Sorry, I don't agree, the boats that I have heard with these switches go from reasonably quiet to straight pipes, very loud. There is no good reason for this other than excessive noise. Boats should be quiet. As I said before, I think most of the speed limit squawking comes because people are upset about loud boats. If the mentioned boats can be much quieter at night, they should be just as quiet during the day also.
