Variable Trim System
(if so equipped)
The variable trim system (VTS) chang-
es the angle of the jet pump nozzle to
provide the operator with a fast, effec-
tive system to compensate for load,
thrust, riding position and water condi-
tions. Correctly adjusted, it can im-
prove handling, reduce porpoising, and
position the watercraft at its best riding
angle to attain maximum performance.
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 up-
ward angle, the water thrust directs the
bow of the watercraft upward. This po-
sition is used to optimize high speed.
TYPICAL
1. Push on arrow pointing upward on VTS
button
2. Bow up
3. Nozzle up
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 capa-
bilities. As with any watercraft, speed
and operator body position and move-
ment (body English), will determine the
degree and sharpness of the water-
craft turn. Porpoising can be reduced or
eliminated if the nozzle is downward
and speed is adjusted proportionately.
WARNING
Shift lever should only be used when
the engine is idling and watercraft is
completely stopped. Do not use re-
verse to stop the watercraft.
