Stopping/Docking/Beaching
Stop Your PWC
• Check that there are no other boats,
swimmers, or obstacles in your path.
•
Slow the PWC by releasing the throttle
lever as you approach the stopping area.
Starting or stopping the engine in less than
three feet of water can damage the jet pump if
debris or weeds are drawn in.
Dock Your PWC
• With the engine idling, ride to the stopping
area. Keep your engine running so you have
jet thrust to maneuver. Open the throttle
slightly in case you need power to steer
away from an obstacle.
You and your passengers should keep all feet,
arms, and hands inside the PWC as it
approaches a dock or another object in the water.
•
Push the engine stop button or pull the lock
clip and moor your PWC to the dock
securely.
Do not run your PWC onto a beach with the
engine running. Sand or other debris can
enter the jet pump and the hull may be
damaged. Stop the engine with at least three
feet of water under the hull.
Beach Your PWC
• Get off your PWC, guide it in, and pull it
up on the beach.
