                            Since the strength of the jet thrust determines
                            the speed and degree of a turn, throttle must
                            always  be  applied when attempting a  turn,
                            except at trolling speed.
                            This model is equipped with the Yamaha En-
                            gine Management  System (YEMS) that  in-
                            cludes an off-throttle steering (OTS) system.
                            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 sharply if you apply throttle
                            while turning the handlebars. The OTS sys-
                            tem does not function below planing speeds
                            or when the engine is off. Once the engine
                            slows down, the watercraft will no longer turn

                                                                                                   34
