Watercraft characteristics

Jet thrust turns the watercraft. Releasing
the throttle lever completely produces only
minimum thrust. If you are traveling at
speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly
decreasing ability to steer without throttle.
This model is equipped with the Yamaha
Engine Management System (YEMS) that
includes an off-throttle steering (OTS) sys-
tem. It will activate at planing speeds
should you attempt to steer the watercraft
after releasing the throttle lever. The OTS
system assists in turning by continuing to
supply some thrust while the watercraft is
decelerating, but you can turn more sharp-
ly if you apply throttle while turning the han-
dlebars.
The OTS system does not function below
planing speeds or when the engine is off.
Once the engine slows down, the water-
craft will no longer turn in response to han-
dlebar input until you apply throttle again or
you reach trolling speed.
Practice turning in an open area without
obstacles until you have a good feel for this
maneuver.

EX: This watercraft is water-jet propelled.
The jet pump is directly connected to the
engine. This means that jet thrust will pro-
duce some movement whenever the en-
gine is running. There is no “neutral”
position.

EX SPORT: This watercraft is water-jet pro-
pelled. The jet pump is directly connected
to the engine. This means that jet thrust will
produce some movement whenever the
engine is running. There is no “neutral” po-
sition. You are in either “forward” or “re-
verse”, depending upon the shift lever
position.

EX SPORT: Do not use the reverse function
to slow down or stop the watercraft as it
could cause you to lose control, be eject-
ed, or impact the handlebars.
This could increase the risk of back/spinal
injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and broken
legs, ankles, and other bones. You could
also damage the shift mechanism.

EX SPORT: Reverse can be used to slow
down or stop during slow-speed maneu-
vering, such as when docking. Once the
engine is idling, shift into reverse and grad-
ually increase engine speed. Make sure
that there are no obstacles or people be-
hind you before shifting into reverse.

EX DELUXE / EX LIMITED: This watercraft
is water-jet propelled. The jet pump is di-
rectly connected to the engine. This means
that jet thrust will produce some movement
whenever the engine is running and the “F”
(forward) or “R” (reverse) shift indicator is
displayed. When the “N” (neutral) shift indi-
cator is displayed, the forward and reverse
thrust are balanced to help keep the water-
craft from moving in either direction, al-
though some movement may occur.

EX DELUXE / EX LIMITED: To avoid rear-
end collisions while operating the water-
craft, check behind you before using the
RiDE lever to slow down or stop the water-
