Running; Maneuvering Techniques - Skeeter i-Class Owner's Manual

RUNNING

Skeeter urges you and all others operating your 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 in this manual are limited to the facts related
directly to the operation of your boat, while the responsibility for the proper application of these principles
belongs to you.

MANEUVERING TECHNIQUES

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