A PWC or Jet Ski has a water Jet propulsion system. With this system the Jet drive is used for propulsion and steering. Jet drives dont turn without using the throttle unless moving very slow and even then it is limited.
You will not be able to turn .
Idle speed at 5mph.
steering control requires more than idle speed, don't be deceived by a valid argument would be "stopping". technically you would be correct because since the lowest speed of a PWC would be idling, and stopping would require more than idle speed if you were to attempt an operation of "stopping".
at least 50 feet
Slow, No wake speed
50 feet
Question:What is the maximum legal speed you may operate a PWC when within 50 feet of any other vessel, PWC, or person in the water?a:10 mphb:15 mphc:"slow, no wake" speedd:"small wake" speedYour Answer:dCorrect:cExplanation:PWCs must operate in a careful and responsible manner. Specifically, it is illegal for PWC operators to: a) Weave the PWC through congested waterway traffic; b) Jump the wake of another motorboat when visibility is obstructed; c) Become airborne while crossing the wake of another motorboat and within 100 feet of that motorboat; d) Operate at greater than "slow, no wake" speed within 50 feet of any other vessel, PWC, or person in the water; e) Operate in a manner that requires swerving at the last possible moment to avoid collision.Question:What is the maximum legal speed you may operate a PWC when within 50 feet of any other vessel, PWC, or person in the water?a:10 mphb:15 mphc:"slow, no wake" speedd:"small wake" speedYour Answer:dCorrect:cExplanation:PWCs must operate in a careful and responsible manner.

Explain how to steer and control the PWC
In Florida, a person must 14 years of age to legally operate a PWC.
If a PWC slows to idle or stops completely you will lose steering control and it will become much more difficult to safely maneuver.
