[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 221023, member: 324"] You are correct. Personal Water Craft (PWC) typically do not have neutral. When the engine is running, it's in gear. Coincidentally, they don't steer unless you're giving it throttle. The kill switch should be connected to the driver, so that if the driver is removed, the engine stops. Presumably the driver then swims to the PWC and climbs back on. Kawasaki used to make their JetSki (JetSki is a brand, by the way) so that they'd circle until the rider caught up to them. They'd idle and do circles. This was better than sailing off into the sunset, but was still a bad idea. People dick around close to shore, then fall off, and the JetSki hits swimmers, rocks, docks, etc. Why the PWC ended up tearing off at full throttle, is a mystery. I've seen people wedge a stick into their throttle though, as a form of Cruise Control. You can imagine the results if they're not using a tether. [/QUOTE]
