STOPPING

The Jet Boat is not equipped with a

separate braking system. It is stopped

by water resistance after the throttle

levers are moved back to idle. From full

speed, the Jet Boat stops in approxi-

mately 404 ft (123 m) after the throttle

is moved back to idle.The stopping dis-

tance varies depending on gross

weight, water surface conditions, and

wind direction. The stated stopping dis-

tance should be used for a reference.

________________

You will lose steering control if you

completely pull the throttle levers

back to idle.

DOCKING

1) Make sure no obstructions, boats or

swimmers are close to the Jet Boat.

Approach the dock from the port

side if possible. Come to a stop

before you reach the dock.

2) Notice how wind and water currents

are affecting boat movement as you

attach your mooring lines and fenders.

3) Approach the dock at idle speed.

Use reverse as necessary during

slow speed maneuvering to help

control speed and direction.

Position the boat according to wind

and water conditions.

Wind or current pushing boat away

from dock:

Slowly approach the dock at about a

45° angle. Secure the bow to the dock,

then use engine thrust or a boat hook

to gently move the stern to the dock.

Wind or current pushing boat

toward dock:

Slowly maneuver to a shallow angle

and allow the boat to move toward the

dock.
