Maneuvering Techniques

Steering response depends on three factors: rudder position,

motion and throttle.

Maneuvering in congested areas and advanced courses requires

mastering and good “rules of the road” ethics. Your Correct Craft

boat is designed to be responsive and agile enough to meet the

challenge of these conditions.

Maneuvering

High speed maneuvering is relatively easy and takes little practice

to learn. Slow speed maneuvering is far more difficult and requires

time and practice to master.

When making tight maneuvers, it is important to understand the

effects of turning. Since both thrust and steering are at the stern of

the boat, the stern will push away from the direction of the turn.

The bow follows a smaller turning circle than the stern.

Section 7

Quick maneuvers when you or your

passengers are not prepared could cause people and

objects in the boat to be thrown about possibly resulting

in injury or death. DO NOT make quick or high-speed

maneuvers when you or your passengers are not

prepared.
