CAUTION:

Do not turn the QSTS selector while operating the watercraft at an engine speed of 3000 r/min or more, otherwise damage could occur to the QSTS.

The neutral “N” position will provide good performance for most operating conditions.

To enhance particular types of performance, select bow down or bow up.

Bow down

Turn the QSTS selector to (a) or (b) and the bow will go down while the watercraft is on plane.

Bow down puts more of the bow in the water. This gives the watercraft more “hook”, which enhances turning performance. This position will also help the watercraft get up on plane more quickly.

At higher speeds, however, the watercraft will have a greater tendency to “bow steer” and follow waves and wakes in the water. Fuel economy and maximum speed are also re- duced.

Bow up

Turn the QSTS selector to (c) or (d) and the bow will go up while the watercraft is on plane. Bow up puts less of the bow in the water. There is less water resistance, so straight-
