           Steering
           Your boat can be steered by turning the
           steering wheel the same direction you wish to
           travel, to the right or left. When the steering
           wheel is turned, the angle  of the jet thrust
           nozzles at the rear of the craft is changed,
           and the change in direction of the jet thrust
           nozzles changes the direction of the boat ac-
           cordingly. In addition, the direction of the ar-                 1
           ticulating keel changes according to the   1               2
           movement of the jet thrust nozzles.
