It means if you turn the handlebar left, the nozzle turns left as well, and the water jet pushes the rear side of the PWC to the right. This squirting water jet from the nozzle is controlled by the handlebar. This is a unique system where the water is forced through a “steering nozzle” that can be found at the back of the PWC. PWC models are all propelled and steered by a jet drive. On these PWC models without brakes, your only chance to stop is if you cut the power and wait until the PWC is slowed down by the water.īut it’s also good to know that without throttle, you can’t steer the watercraft! Are you wondering why?įor a proper answer, we have to take a short look at the PWC’s propulsion system.
But don’t forget the modified watercraft which can hit 120-130 mph!Īs you might imagine, stopping the craft on the water without braking is not easy at these speeds, which leads to many accidents, especially in the case of inexperienced riders.
This means these watercraft became increasingly faster on the water.įinally, many current PWC models can run as fast as 67 mph in stock condition. The horsepower ratings went from 55 HP to 300 HP over the years! In the past, watercraft were much smaller, and being honest, far less powerful.īelow, you can check out this chart about the Sea-Doo’s flagship performance model’s horsepower increase.
