Steering
Your boat can be steered by turning the
steering wheel the same direction you wish to
travel, to the right or left. When the steering
wheel is turned, the angle of the jet thrust
nozzles at the rear of the craft is changed,
and the change in direction of the jet thrust
nozzles changes the direction of the boat ac-
cordingly.
In addition, the direction of the articulating
keel changes according to the movement of
the jet thrust nozzles.

Since the strength of the jet thrust determines
the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle
must always be opened above idle when at-
tempting a turn, except at trolling speed.
Because boats steer from the stern, the stern
of the boat swings out in the opposite direc-
tion of your turn. If you turn to starboard, for
example, the stern of the boat will swing to
the left. Keep this in mind when navigating
near a person in the water, such as a down
wakeboarder or water-skier, or an obstacle,
such as a dock.
Tilt lever
WARNING
Never touch the tilt lever during opera-
tion, otherwise the steering wheel could
suddenly change position, which may
lead to an accident.
Be sure the steering wheel is locked in
position after adjustment. If the steering
wheel is not locked in position, it may
suddenly change position during opera-
tion, which may lead to an accident.
The tilt lever is located under the steering
wheel and is used to adjust the tilt of the
steering wheel. There are 5 positions.
