How to Use the Variable
Trim System (VTS)
RXP-X Model
The variable trim system (VTS)
changes the angle of the jet pump noz-
zle to provide the operator with a fast,
effective system to compensate for
load, thrust, riding position and water
conditions. Correctly adjusted, it can
improve handling, reduce porpoising,
and position the watercraft at its best
riding attitude to attain maximum per-
formance.
When first using the watercraft, the
operator should become familiar with
the use of the variable trim system
(VTS) at varying speeds and water con-
ditions. A mid-range trim is generally
used when cruising. Experience alone
will dictate the best trim for the condi-
tions. During the watercraft break-in
period, when lower speeds are recom-
mended, it is an excellent opportunity
to gain familiarity of trim adjustment
and its effects.
When the nozzle is positioned in an
upward angle, the water thrust directs
the bow of the watercraft upward.
This position is used to optimize high
speed.
NOTE: VTS position is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information center.

When the nozzle is directed down-
ward, the bow is forced downward
and enhances the watercraft turning
capabilities. As with any watercraft,
speed and operator body position and
movement (body English), will deter-
mine the degree and sharpness of the
watercraft turn. Porpoising can be re-
duced or eliminated if the nozzle is
downward and speed is adjusted pro-
portionately.
NOTE: VTS position is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information center.
