higher the engine speed, the more thrust is
produced.
The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the po-
sition of the steering wheel, determines how
sharply you turn.
A.
More throttle produces high thrust, so the
boat will turn more sharply.
B.
Less throttle produces low thrust, so the
boat will turn more gradually.
C. Pulling the remote control levers back to
idle or the neutral position produces only
minimum thrust. If you are traveling at
speeds above trolling, you will have rap-
idly decreasing ability to steer without
throttle. You may still have some turning
ability immediately after pulling the re-
mote control levers back to idle, but when
the engines slow down, the boat will no
longer respond to steering wheel input
until you apply throttle again or you reach
a trolling speed.
At trolling speed, the boat can be turned
gradually by steering wheel position
alone using just the amount of thrust
available at engine idle.
