Section 08 STEERING SYSTEM
Subsection 02 (OFF-POWER ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM (O.P.A.S.))
GENERAL
The Off-Power Assisted Steering (O.P.A.S.) sys-
tem uses a dual side vanes design that assists the
watercraft steering in deceleration, to redirect wa-
tercraft path when steering is turned after throttle
has been released or engine stopped.
The side vanes on the rear sides of the hull, turn
as the steering is turned to assist the watercraft
turning. At first, carefully experiment turning with
this system.

When engine is running at approximately 75% or
more RPM, the side vanes are automatically raised
to upper position since they are not required at
that vehicle speed range.
Between 30% and 75% engine RPM, side vanes
are gradually raised from lower position to upper
position.
