higher the engine speed, the more thrust is
produced.
The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the po-
sition of the steering wheel, determines how
sharply you turn.
A. More throttle produces high thrust, so the
boat will turn more sharply.
A
B. Less throttle produces low thrust, so the
boat will turn more gradually.
B
C. Pulling the remote control levers back to
idle or the neutral position produces only
minimum thrust. If you are traveling at
speeds above trolling, you will have rap-
idly decreasing ability to steer without
throttle. You may still have some turning
ability immediately after pulling the re-
mote control levers back to idle, but when
the engines slow down, the boat will no
longer respond to steering wheel input
until you apply throttle again or you reach
a trolling speed.
At trolling speed, the boat can be turned
gradually by steering wheel position
alone using just the amount of thrust
available at engine idle.
