Would it not be more realistic and effective to complain to the harbor master/commissioners, far better than taking the law into your own hands.

If said waterskiiers are cutting your bows, Wouldn't a large amount of warp paid out to a good anchor, followed by a good bout of stern thrust at the right moment have the desired effect without resorting to arms?

You could try a visual deterent, maybe a radio controlled shark fin or failing that Jaws himself.

One of the most irritating things going. The weekend in Priory Bay off Bembridge was a classic this weekend. At 11. oclock all is flat, then gradually the ribs come out - some skiing and some on passage - all it seems pass close to you, despite acres of flat water just to the siuth where no one is anchored. It seems they are totally oblivious to the inconvenience they are creating.
2 years ago, I am afraid my temper got the better of me in Studland on a bank holiday weekend, when a particular hotels courtesy boat, was skiing inside the bathing area repeartedly. Despite requests, as they had scarred a number of swimmers, they went on doing it. Eventually I through a full bear bottle at them, which smashed all over the boat. They left, so much more evective than an exocet.

A drainpipe spud gun is the answer. My son makes them out of plastic downpipe.Ignition for the propellant (hairspray) is by a piezo crystal thingy from a disposable lighter. Fires a big spud a long way, just like a mortar.
A few years back I recall being on a lovely beach in mid-Wales when the Brummie Navy arrived with a jetbike and proceeded to race up and down offshore with the on-board music blaring.
When it was time for them to leave, Tracey backed the 4x4 down to the water's edge and pushed the trailer into the surf ( which was a bit high) and sadly a wave picked the infernal machine and dumped it on to the one of the supports impaling it like a barbeque sausage. Oh how we laughed!

Similar to Dylan's view on some Jet skiers
Caution: Dylan looses control of his fine English grammar.

More devious...
Wouldn't a nice long length of polypropylene (or similar) floating rope attached to your stern by a short length of light whipping twine do the trick? I believe it melts quite nicely when rotating at high speed around a prop and engine leg.....

All this brave talk of machine guns and explosives is so irresponsible.
Just think of the pollution caused by all that blood & guts in the sea.

getting a little serious
the law is quite clear on this sort of thing (iaw current rules of engagment)...
chuck swmbo in the water (believe me it'll be worth it for the moment!)
Run up the Alpha flag
Make the helm/pwc rider/yob aware of the fact they are causing a danger to life and hey presto...
your shooting them for preservation of life!

Far too passive. I suggest attaching the line to a radio controlled pot marker buoy, for acurate deployment and being able to blame someone else for the resulting chaos!
