When the nozzle is directed down- ward, the bow is forced downward and enhances the watercraft turning capabilities. As with any watercraft, speed and operator body position and movement (body English), will deter- mine the degree and sharpness of the watercraft turn. Porpoising can be re- duced or eliminated if the nozzle is downward and speed is adjusted pro- portionately.

NOTE: VTS position is indicated on a bar gauge in the information center.

Steering

F18J09Y

Turning the handlebar pivots the jet pump nozzle which controls the water- craft direction. Turning the handlebar to the right will turn the watercraft to the right and inversely. The throttle should be applied to turn the water- craft.

WARNING

Throttle should be applied and handlebar turned to change the di- rection of the watercraft. Steering efficiency will differ depending on the number of passengers, load, water conditions and environmen- tal factors such as the wind.

Unlike a car, a watercraft needs some throttle to turn. Practice in a safe area applying the throttle and turning away from an imaginary object. This is a good collision avoidance technique.

WARNING

Directional control is reduced when the throttle is released and/or when engine is off.

The watercraft behaves differently with a passenger and requires greater skill. The passenger should always grip the seat strap or grab handle. Re-
