In this case, the PWC will head for the dock. This is because, power needs to be applied in order to maintain steering control. If the throttle is left to idle or if the engine is turn off during operation, all steering control will be lost. In each of this situation, the PWC will continue in the was headed before the engine was turned off or before the throttle was left to idle.  

A PWC stands for Personal Watercrafts. It is propelled by Jet drives. therefore, It will continue straight toward the dock.

What is a Jet drive?

A jet drive meaning water is drawn into a pump and then forced out under pressure by a steering nozzle from the back.

PWC and Jet drive

  • PWC is propelled by Jet drives. This jet of pressurized water is directed by the steering control.

  • The main point about steering in PWC is that most PWC (and other jet-drive vessels)  must always need the power to maintain control.

  • The steering of PWC always needs power in order to maintain control. therefore, If the engine on a PWC (or a jet-propelled vessel) returns to idle or shut off during operation, then we lose all steering controls.

Hence, PWC will continue in the direction they were headed before the throttle was released or the engine was shut off, and not depend on the steering control. Hence, It will continue straight toward the dock.
