Variable Trim System
(if so equipped)
The variable trim system (VTS)
changes the angle of the jet pump
nozzle to provide the operator with a
fast, effective system to compensate
for load, thrust, riding position and wa-
ter conditions. Correctly adjusted, it
can improve handling, reduce porpois-
ing, and position the watercraft at its
best riding attitude to attain maximum
performance.
When first using the watercraft, the
operator should become familiar with
the use of the variable trim system
(VTS) at varying speeds and water
conditions. A mid-range trim is gener-
ally used when cruising. Experience
alone will dictate the best trim for
the conditions. During the watercraft
break-in period, when lower speeds
are recommended, it is an excellent
opportunity to gain familiarity of trim
adjustment and its effects.
When the nozzle is positioned in an
upward angle, the water thrust directs
the bow of the watercraft upward.
This position is used to optimize high
speed.
