Propulsion Principle
The engine is directly coupled to a drive shaft which, in turn, rotates an impeller. The
water is drawn up from underneath the watercraft, then flows through the impeller to a
venturi. The venturi accelerates the water and produces thrust to move the watercraft.
By depressing the throttle lever, an operator increases engine speed and therefore
watercraft speed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Whenever the engine is to be started, the operator should always be
properly sitting or standing on jetSurf model, or sitting on jetKayak
models and be wearing protective clothing including a Coast Guard
approved PFD and a wet suit bottom.
WARNING
Before operating your Powerboard, read this User’s Manual thoroughly,
fully understand how the craft works, become familiar with all controls
and functions. Consult your Aquanami Dealer for any questions you may
have. Failure to do so could cause damage to your watercraft and an
accident!
WARNING
Keep away from intake grate while engine is on. Items such as long hair,
loose clothing or personal flotation device straps can become entangled
in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.
WARNING
Turn Left and Right
jetSurf Models:
As surfing or wakeboarding, an operator makes a turn by shifting his/her body weight.
The Powerboard turns right when operator leans right and inversely.
jetKayak Models
Turning the steering handle pivots the jet pump nozzle which controls the watercraft
direction. Turning the handle to the left will turn the watercraft to the left and inversely. The
throttle should be applied to turn the watercraft.
