Off-Power Assisted Steering System (O.P.A.S.)

The Off-Power Assisted Steering (O.P.A.S.) system uses a dual side vanes design that assists the water- craft steering in deceleration, to redi- rect watercraft path when steering is turned after throttle has been released or engine stopped.

The side vanes on the rear sides of the hull, turn as the steering is turned to assist the watercraft turning. At first, carefully experiment turning with this system.
