STEERING
➀
Steering wheel
Your Sport Boat can be steered by turn-
ing the steering wheel the same direc-
tion 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.
