OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
used when cruising. Experience alone
will dictate the best trim for the condi-
tions. During the watercraft break-in
period, when lower speeds are recom-
mended, it is an excellent opportunity
to become familiar with trim adjust-
ment 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.
When the nozzle is directed down-
ward, the bow is forced downward
and increases the watercraft turning
capabilities. As with any watercraft,
speed and operator body position and
movement (body English), will deter-
mine the degree and sharpness of the
watercraft turn. Porpoising can be re-
duced or eliminated if the nozzle is
downward and speed is adjusted pro-
portionately.
NOTE: VTS position is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information center.

The VTS system allows for manually
adjusting the trim position of the noz-
zle, or selecting two preset trim posi-
tions and recording or changing preset
trim positions on certain models.
How to Use Cruise Mode
Cruise mode is a function of iTC (in-
telligent Throttle Control) system that
allows the operator to set the desired
maximum watercraft speed with an
engine speed above approximately
3800 RPM.
This is useful when cruising for long
distances, operating in limited speed
zones, or towing a tuber, skier or wake
boarder.
The operatormust keep thethrottlede-
pressed to maintain forward speed.
Once the maximum cruise speed is
set, the operator can vary the water-
craftspeedfromidlespeeduptothe
set cruise speed using the throttle
lever. The set cruise speed will not
be exceeded even if the throttle lever
is fully depressed.
As you proceed under a constant cruis-
ing speed setting, keep your attention
leveluptomaintaingoodsituational
awareness.
Slowing down is a matter of releasing
the throttle lever further than the set
point, or by pulling the iBR lever in.
If the iBR lever is pulled in for braking,
CRUISE mode is overridden but not
deactivated.
Once the iBR lever is released and the
throttle is pulled in to engage forward
thrust, the cruise function will reen-
gage to limit the watercraft speed as it
was set before.
Activating Cruise Mode
To activate cruise mode of operation:
1. Accelerate to the desired water-
craft speed above 3800 RPM.
2. Press and hold the cruise button for
approximately 1 second.
