Bow down
Turn the grip 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 greater tendency to “bow steer” and follow waves and wakes in the water. Fuel economy and maximum speed are also reduced.

Bow up
Turn the grip 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- ahead acceleration when on plane and top speed are enhanced.
In some conditions, however, the water- craft may tend to “porpoise” (hop in the water). If the watercraft is porpoising, choose neutral or bow down.

Handgrip
The handgrip 1 provides a handhold for boarding the watercraft and for a spotter when facing rearward.
WARNING
Do not use the handgrip to lift the water- craft. The watercraft could fall, which could result in severe injury.
