1. Reversegateindownwardposition
NO TE: To obtain maximum efficiency
and control from the reverse, increase
engine speed to slightly above idle.
Too much RP M will create w a ter turbu-
lence and reduce reverse efficiency.
In reverse positio n, turn the handlebar
in the same direction that you want to
move the rear of the watercraft.
For example, to steer the rear of the
watercraft to the left side, turn the han-
dlebar to the left side.

Variable Trim System
All RXP, RXT-X and WAKE Models
The variable trim system (VTS)
changes the angle of the jet pump noz-
zle to provide the operator with a fa st,
effective system to compensate for
load, thrust, ridin g position and w a ter
conditions. Correc tly adjusted, it can
improve handli ng, reduce porpoising,
and position the watercraft at its best
riding attitude to attain maximum per-
formance.
When first using the watercraft, the
operator should becom e familiar with
the use of the variable trim system
(VTS) at varying spe eds and water con-
ditions. A mid-range trim is gen era lly
used when cruising. Experience alo ne
will dictate the best trim for the c ondi-
tions. During the watercraft break-in
period, when lower speed s are recom-
mende d, it is an excellent opportunity
to gain familiarity of trim adjustment
and its effects.
When the nozzle is po sitioned in an
upward angle, the water thrust directs
the bow of the watercraft upward.
This position is used to optimize high
speed.
NO TE: VTS posi tion is indicated on a
bar gauge in the information ce nter.
