Nautique Ski Sec 7.qxd:Nautique Ski Sec 7.qxd 6/18/07 5:18 AM Page 7-2 Section 7 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.
Nautique Ski Sec 7.qxd:Nautique Ski Sec 7.qxd 6/18/07 5:18 AM Page 7-3 Running The effects of unequal propeller thrust, wind and current must also be kept in mind. While wind and current may not always be present, experienced boaters will use them to their advantage. Unequal thrust is an aspect shared by all single-engine propeller-driven watercraft. A clockwise rotation propeller tends to cause the boat, steering in the straight ahead position, to drift to starboard when going forward or backward.
Nautique Ski Sec 7.qxd:Nautique Ski Sec 7.qxd 6/18/07 5:18 AM Page 7-4 Section 7 Freezing Temperatures When the boat is removed from the water, drain the cooling and heater system (as equipped) completely. Anchoring There are many types of anchors available on the market. The choice of one anchor over another depends on many factors.
