In general your driving record is a history of your operation of motor vehicles, which can include cars, motorcycles, boats, etc. In many states you do not have to have a driver's license in order for the state to start a driving record or motor vehicle record (MVR) on you.

The NYS Navigation Law does state that the department of motor vehicles shall maintain a record of all convictions and accidents and since you do have a driver's license and driving history already started it would appear that is where your maritime violation was also placed. You will need to check with the New York Department of Motor Vehicles to find out exactly why the jet ski speeding / no wake violation is on your driving record and how long it will remain there.

No insurance agent has the authority or ability to edit or update a driving record. They can only review them for underwriting purposes.
