Alabama Boating License Practice Test

Losing steering ability can be dangerous and even fatal while operating a PWC. Applying the throttle control or operating at low speed will not cause this issue. Turning the handlebars violently may cause the PWC to capsize, but it will not result in a loss of steering ability. In fact, if you encounter rough waters or wake, it is recommended to turn the handlebars slightly to absorb the impact. However, letting off the throttle control suddenly and without proper control can cause the PWC to lose stability and maneuverability, leading to a loss of steering ability. It is important to always maintain proper control and gradual throttle adjustments while operating a PWC.
