How to use this guide to practice
The Yamaha watercraft you are going to learn to operate may have different specifica-
tions and different performance characteristics from other personal watercraft or boats you
may have operated.
The riding practice steps in this booklet will help you to become familiar with the basic
techniques you will need to learn to master operating your watercraft.
Remember, you will be learning the skills and developing the good judgment that safe
operation of your watercraft requires.
The purpose of this guide is to help you get started by practicing certain important skills.
You should practice each exercise until you can do it well—until it feels comfortable to you.
Only then should you go on to the next exercise.
Each exercise builds on the skills you have already learned; so do not try to jump ahead.
In these exercises, we want you to get the feel of the watercraft, and to learn how it oper-
ates in its many modes of use. Always keep in mind that these exercises are only a begin-
ning and a guide. You must use your common sense and good judgment, along with the skill
and knowledge you gain as you continue to operate your watercraft.
This practice guide is divided into 9 exercises. Practice operating the watercraft in steps,
starting with Exercise 1. Exercises 1 through 7 cover the basic riding techniques you need to
master.
Exercise 9 will help you learn the skills you need for operating with passengers. Again, do
not attempt this exercise until you have developed your skills in the earlier exercises.
Before starting the exercises read this guide completely. Then read the exercise again
before you start to practice it. In this guide we refer to different speeds.
