When boating through shallow water areas, choose a course of
travel that avoids sharp rocks and other underwater obstacles
that could damage the boat. Running the boat through these
areas on full plane may be helpful as the boat will be riding
higher in the water. If the boat gets stuck on the bottom,
immediately stop the engine and move the boat to deeper water.
How the Jet Drive Operates
A jet driven boat has substantially different handling
characteristics compared to a propeller driven boat. It is
recommended that the operator adjusts to these characteristics
by experimenting in open water at both high and low speeds.
The driveshaft driven impeller draws water up through the water
intake and then redirects it at a high pressure through the water
outlet nozzle to create forward thrust. To obtain reverse, the
reverse gate moves over the outlet nozzle to direct the water in
the opposite direction.
