Maneuvering Techniques
Steering response depends on three factors: rudder position,
motion and throttle.
Maneuvering in congested areas and advanced courses requires
mastering and good “Rules of the Road” ethics. Your Nautique boat
is designed to be responsive and agile enough to meet the
challenge of these conditions.
Maneuvering
High speed maneuvering is relatively easy and takes little practice
to learn. Slow speed maneuvering is far more difficult and requires
time and practice to master.
When making tight maneuvers, it is important to understand the
effects of turning. Since both thrust and steering are at the stern of
the boat, the stern will push away from the direction of the turn.
The bow follows a smaller turning circle than the stern.

Quick maneuvers can cause people and
objects in the boat to be thrown about resulting in death
or serious injury. DO NOT make quick or high-speed
maneuvers when you or your passengers are not
prepared.
