1 Shift gate
2 Jet thrust nozzle
Reverse
The shift gate is dropped all the way down
over the jet thrust nozzle. Jet thrust is redi-
rected toward the bow of the boat, which
moves the boat backward.
1 Shift gate
Steering
Your boat can be steered by turning the
steering wheel the same direction you wish to
travel, to the right or left. When the steering
wheel is turned, the angle of the jet thrust
nozzle at the rear of the craft is changed, and
the change in direction of the jet thrust nozzle
changes the direction of the boat according-
ly.
In addition, the direction of the articulating
keel changes according to the movement of
the jet thrust nozzle.
1 Steering wheel
1 Jet thrust nozzle
2 Articulating keel
Since the strength of the jet thrust determines
the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle
must always be opened above idle when at-
tempting a turn, except at trolling speed.
Because boats steer from the stern, the stern
of the boat swings out in the opposite direc-
tion of your turn. If you turn to starboard, for
example, the stern of the boat will swing to
the left. Keep this in mind when navigating
near a person in the water, such as a down
wakeboarder or water-skier, or an obstacle,
such as a dock.
