OPERATION OF
CONTROLS AND
OTHER FUNCTIONS

STEERING

➀
Steering wheel
Your boat can be steered by turning the
steering wheel the same direction you
wish to travel, to the right or left. When
the wheel is turned, the angle of the jet
(output) nozzles at the rear of the craft
is changed, and the change in direction
of the nozzles changes the direction of
the boat accordingly. Since the strength
of the jet thrust determines the speed
and direction of a turn, the throttle must
always be opened above idle when
attempting a turn, except at trolling
speed.
F
EATURES
Because boats steer from the stern
(rear), the stern of the boat swings out
in the opposite direction of your turn. If
you turn to the starboard (right), 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 skier, or an
obstacle, such as a dock.

ENGINE SHUT-OFF SWITCH

The clip on the end of the engine shut-
off cord must be attached to the engine
shut-off switch for the engines to run.
The cord must be attached to a secure
1 1
place on the operator's personal flota-
tion device (PFD). Should the operator
fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping igni-
tion to both engines. This will prevent
the boat from running away under
power.
