Features and functions

To enhance particular types of performance,
select bow down or bow up.
EJU31330Bow down
Turn the QSTS selector to (a) or (b) and the
bow will go down while the watercraft is on
plane.
Bow down puts more of the bow in the water.
This gives the watercraft more “hook”, which
enhances turning performance. This position
will also help the watercraft get up on plane
more quickly.
At higher speeds, however, the watercraft will
have a greater tendency to “bow steer” and
follow waves and wakes in the water. Fuel
economy and maximum speed are also re-
duced.
EJU31340Bow up
Turn the QSTS selector to (c) or (d) and the
bow will go up while the watercraft is on plane.Bow up puts less of the bow in the water.
There is less water resistance, so straight-
ahead acceleration when on plane and top
speed are enhanced.
In some conditions, however, the watercraft
may tend to “porpoise” (hop in the water). If
the watercraft is porpoising, select neutral or
bow down.
EJU37380Reboarding grip
The reboarding grip provides a handhold for
boarding the watercraft.
EJU34870Bow eye
The bow eye is located at the bow of the wa-
tercraft.
The bow eye is used to attach a rope to the
watercraft when transporting, mooring, or
towing it in an emergency.
