Exercise 5: Sub-planing speed maneuvering
Objective:
This exercise shows you how to move ahead, turn in small circles, and combine the two
maneuvers to make a figure eight.
Skills:
Throttle control and slow to medium speed turning.
Directions:
Steering
Your watercraft is steered by a combination of applying throttle and turning the handle-
bars
1
. When the handlebars are turned, the angle of the jet thrust nozzle
2
at the stern is
changed, which changes the direction of the watercraft.
Since the strength of the jet thrust determines the speed and direction of a turn, the
throttle must always be open when attempting a turn, except at trolling speed.
