Radio ranges can be affected by several factors, starting with water reflection and line of site. Taking that into consideration, most of the surface radios have a reliable range of between .25 and .5 mile. That being said, your best option would be to do a range test on your boating site and see how far your boat's receiver can pick up the signal. Take out the Jetski and have someone watch the boat. Intermittently operate the controls and see how far out the boat responds.

The way I see it, if you're trying to help someone and give bad info, you're not helping. Since you're already working with Rod, it's better to tell you to keep working with him than give you faulty info that could damage your motor just to make myself look like an expert

And I fully agree, Ron. .5 would be really pushing it but, at the same time, some radios can reach that far. Pretty much all of the modern radio sets can achieve .25, even the cheap ones. That is why I said to range test the system in his boat so he can have a good idea how far out he can safely go
