in my bay boat, it depends on the people and conditions. let me begin by saying we should always wear one while running regardless. This is how it usually works out in my boat.
Killswitch - always, i never operate the boat without this attached to me. Hint, i have a stretchable wrist strap from a cast net. i attached it to the killswithh clip and when I take it off I hang it on the throttle. makes it easy to remember to put it back on cause you gotta grab the throttle.
PFDs
-If its "the guys" and calm conditions, no we do not, rough, yes.
-Ladies or people i an not familiar with on the boat PDFs are worn unless it is slick calm.
-If there are kids onboard everyone wears, regardless of conditions.
