Turning
89
Your PWC requires thrust to turn, so you
must pull on the throttle lever while you turn
the handlebar. The more you pull on the
throttle lever, the more thrust your PWC will
have and the sharper your turns will be.
If you pull the trim lever, the bow will lower
and your PWC will turn more easily.
To turn at higher speeds, you should first
reduce speed by gently releasing the throttle a
little. Too sharp a turn at high speed may
cause the PWC to slide sideways or spin and
throw off the operator and passenger.
If you are heading toward an obstacle you
want to avoid — do not release the throttle
lever. Keep the throttle on and steer away
from the object.
