STEERING
1 Steering wheel
Your boat can be steered by turning the
steering wheel the same direction you
wish to travel, to the right or left. When
the wheel is turned, the angle of the jet
(output) nozzles at the rear of the craft
is changed, and the change in direction
of the nozzles changes the direction of
the boat accordingly. Since the strength
of the jet thrust determines the speed
and direction of a turn, the throttle must
always be opened above idle when
attempting a turn, except at trolling
speed.
Because boats steer from the stern
(rear), the stern of the boat swings out
in the opposite direction of your turn. If
you turn to the starboard (right), 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 skier, or an
obstacle, such as a dock.
TILT LEVER
The tilt lever 1 is located under the
steering wheel and is used to adjust the
tilt of the steering wheel. There are
three positions.
To adjust the tilt, pull the lever up, and
then move the steering wheel up or
down to the desired position. The lever
will lock into place when the wheel is
moved into one of the three available
positions.
• Never touch the tilt lever during
operation, otherwise the steering
wheel could suddenly change
position, which may lead to an
accident.
• Be sure the steering wheel is
locked in position after adjust-
ment. If the steering wheel is not
locked in position, it may sudden-
ly change position during opera-
tion, which may lead to an
accident.
