RUNNING

10-1

Skeeter urges you and all others operating your boat

to seek certified instruction from the local boating

authorities.

This section is designed to present the most basic

operational principles. It is NOT intended to cover all

conditions encountered during operation. Therefore,

the principles in this manual are limited to the facts

related directly to the operation of your boat, while the

responsibility for the proper application of these

principles belongs to you.

MANEUVERING TECHNIQUES

Steering response depends on three factors: outboard

position, motion, and throttle.

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.
