From full speed, the watercraft comes to a
complete stop due to water resistance in ap-
proximately 70 m (230 ft) after the throttle le-
ver is released or the engine is stopped,
although this distance will vary depending on
many factors, including gross weight, water
surface conditions, and wind direction.
VX / VX DELUXE / VX CRUISER / VX
LIMITED: If the RiDE lever is squeezed to slow down, the stopping distance is approxi-
mately 30% shorter than when the RiDE lever
is not used. However, this distance will vary
depending on many factors, including gross
weight, water surface conditions, and wind
direction.
EWJ01793
Allow adequate stopping distance. Stay
far enough away from others so you can
always safely coast to a stop.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, watercraft and other boats do
not have brakes.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft to give you
time to stop.
Do not shut the engine off when slowing
down in case you need engine power to
steer away from a boat or other obstacle
that comes into your path.
VX / VX DELUXE / VX CRUISER / VX
LIMITED: To avoid rear-end collisions while operating the watercraft, check
behind you before using the RiDE lever
to slow down or stop the watercraft.
