ty lanyard post.
2) Steering Wheel

tion of the boat. Turning the steering
wheel clockwise steers the boat to the
right and inversely.
Low-Speed Steering Control
Systems
Whenever the engine RPM is at idle
and the steering wheel is approaching
the end of its rotation, the engine speed
will be slightly accelerated to increase
the jet pump thrust and thus improving
the steering control for low speed oper-
ation and when approaching/leaving a
dock. Refer to OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS for more details.
3) Throttle/Shifter Lever
Shifter Lever
A 3-position lever:
– forward
– neutral
– reverse.
WARNING
Always use the safety lanyard
when operating your boat to help
prevent a runaway boat and re-
duce the risk of personal injury or
death. Disconnect the lanyard
when stopped to help prevent ac-
cidental starting.
WARNING
Should the safety lanyard become
loose or fails to remain on its
switch, replace it immediately.
