Question 2 of 15

2. Question
Personal Watercraft are not steered by a rudder. Instead, they are steered by the left or right movement of the nozzle at the rear of the craft while the water jet is being expelled through the nozzle. Because of this, what would you need to consider if you were travelling at high speed and you quickly closed the throttle to avoid collision with another vessel or a person in the water in your close proximity?
- No special consideration. You will stop quite quickly
- You will still be able to change your direction of travel while your craft is reducing speed, although at a slower turning rate
- That closing the throttle will increase your ability to steer so you can turn even faster
Correct

Incorrect

- It takes power and steering to properly jump the wake of other vessels
