Your JET SKI watercraft provides turning action
under certain conditions when the throttle is re-
leased.
There must be thrust at the jet nozzle to
initiate and complete turns. This is a supplemental
steering system which assists operators in learning
to negotiate turns and maneuver.
Your JET SKI watercraft continuously detects the
operator’s steering input as well as boat speed.
When the throttle is released while boat speed
is high and a turn is initiated, the your JET SKI
watercraft automatically increases engine speed to
provide additional thrust. The system does not work
when the engine is off or boat speed is low.
