OPERATION
Turning the Watercraft
Turning the watercraft
requires using the throttle
(thrust from the jet pump)
and turning the
handlebars at the same
time. Do not release
the throttle when
trying to steer.
Your Polaris MSX watercraft is equipped with Polaris
Enhanced Steering Performance (ESP) technology, a
system that provides enhanced maneuverability if the
operator releases the throttle but still needs steering
control.
S
ESP will provide thrust should the operator release
the throttle and turn the handlebars completely to
either the left or right.
S
ESP works only when the watercraft is traveling
more than 15 miles per hour and the handlebars are
turned completely to the left or right. It does not
work at slower speeds or when the engine is off.
S
ESP is not a substitute for safe riding techniques,
which should be followed and are described in the
labels attached to the watercraft and in the owner’s
manual.
See page 33 for more information about ESP.
High thrust makes the watercraft turn more sharply.
Lower thrust makes the watercraft turn less sharply.
Making sharp turns at high speeds may cause the
watercraft to “spin out” and may cause rider(s) to be
ejected from the watercraft. Make gradual turns when
operating at higher speeds.
To avoid collisions, always look behind the craft
before turning.
