Pre-operation check points
Pre-launch checks
Perform the pre-launch checks in the pre-op-
eration checklist while the boat is on land.
Steering system checks
Make sure the steering wheel is not loose.
There should not be any free play, either in-
and-out or in rotation. Turn the steering wheel
fully to the right and left to make sure opera-
tion is smooth and unrestricted throughout the
whole range.
1 Steering wheel
Make sure both jet thrust nozzles change di-
rections as the steering wheel is turned. The
jet thrust nozzles should point to starboard
(right) when the wheel is turned to the right.
The jet thrust nozzles should point to port (left)
when the wheel is turned to the left. There
should not be free play between the steering
wheel and the jet thrust nozzles. In addition,
check that the direction of the articulating keel
changes according to the movement of the jet
thrust nozzles.
