In this manner you can turn and move away from any obstacles. j WARNING JET SKI watercraft require throttle (thrust) to steer; releasing the throttle completely reduces the ability to steer and may cause you to hit an object you are trying to avoid, causing injury or death. To avoid collisions maintain or apply throttle as needed to maintain thrust at the jet nozzle to initiate a turn. A.
