We urge you and all others operating the boat to seek certified instruction
from the local boating authorities.
This section is designed to present the most basic operational principles. It
is NOT intended to cover all conditions encountered during operation.
Therefore, the principles presented in this manual are limited to the facts
related directly to the operation of the boat, while the responsibility for the
proper application of these principles belongs to you.

MANEUVERING TECHNIQUES

Steering response depends on three factors: engine position, motion and
throttle.

Like an automobile, high speed
maneuvering is relatively easy
and takes little practice to learn.
Slow speed maneuvering, on the
other hand, is far more difficult
and requires time and practice to
master.
When making tight maneuvers, it
is important to understand the
effects of turning. Since both
thrust and steering are at the
stern of the boat, the stern will
push away from the direction of
the turn. The bow follows a
smaller turning circle than the
stern.
