Idle Speed, No Wake is that speed which is necessary to maintain steerage. The speed at which you dock your boat is idle speed, no wake. Generally this is a speed of 1 to 3 miles per hour.

Slow Speed, Minimum Wake is that speed which allows your boat to be completely settled in the water with very little or no wake. Your boat is not on plane. Generally this is a speed of 5 to 7 miles per hour.
