Boat Operation Section 2
Above idle speed in FORWARD, you can control boat
direction with the steering wheel:
• Turn the steering wheel in a counter-clockwise
direction to turn to port .
• Turn the steering wheel in a clockwise direction to
turn to starboard .
You can use the engine throttle to greatly increase
boat response while performing certain slow speed
turning maneuvers. To turn quickly to port or star-
board at slow speed, turn the steering wheel in the
direction you want to go. After you have turned the
steering wheel, increase the engine speed and the
boat will turn quickly. It is important to turn the steer-
ing wheel before you increase engine speed, because
the boat will accelerate in the direction it is steered.
Backing down, you can control boat direction with the
steering wheel:
• Turn the steering wheel in a counter-clockwise
direction to back down to port .
• Turn the steering wheel in a clockwise direction to
back down to starboard .
