Watercraft operation

the vertical angle of the jet thrust nozzle,
which adjusts the trim angle of the watercraft.
There are 5 positions: neutral, 2 bow-down
positions (a) and (b), and 2 bow-up positions
(c) and (d).
Bow-down positions (a) and (b)
The bow will go down, causing the trim angle
to decrease.
Vertical movement of the bow will be reduced
and the watercraft will get up on plane more
quickly when accelerating.
Bow-up positions (c) and (d)
The bow will go up, causing the trim angle to
increase.
There is less water resistance, therefore,
straight-ahead acceleration is enhanced.
TIP:
The watercraft performance characteristics
according to the trim angle change depend-
ing on the operating conditions.
To change the trim angle:
(1) Reduce engine speed to less than 3000
r/min.
(2) Squeeze the Q.S.T.S. selector lock lever,
and then turn the Q.S.T.S. selector to the
desired position.
NOTICE:
Do not turn
the Q.S.T.S. selector while operating
the watercraft at an engine speed of
