Operation
A.More throttle produces higher thrust, so the watercraft will turn more sharply.
B.Less throttle produces lower thrust, so the watercraft will turn more gradually.
C.Releasing the throttle lever completely produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after releasing the throttle lever, but once the engine slows down, the watercraft will no longer respond to handlebar input until you ap- ply throttle again or you reach trolling speed.
At trolling speed, the watercraft can be turned gradually by handlebar position
alone using just the amount of thrust available at idle.
D.If the engine is stopped while riding, there is no thrust. The watercraft will go straight even though the handlebars are turned.
You need throttle to steer.
To maintain your balance, lean into a turn. How much you lean depends on the sharpness of the turn and your traveling speed. In
