           z Jet  thrust turns the watercraft. Releasing
            the throttle lever completely produces only
            minimum thrust. If  you are traveling at
            speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly
            decreasing ability to steer without throttle.
            You may still have some turning ability im-
            mediately after releasing the throttle lever,
            but once the engine slows down, the wa-
            tercraft will no longer respond to handlebar
            input until you apply throttle again or you
            reach trolling speed.                 1 Intake grate

                                                  while reboarding.  Get to  a standing or
                                                  kneeling position quickly. This will improve
