What is needed for steering control on a personal watercraft?

Steering control on a personal watercraft (PWC) primarily relies on the handlebars, which are connected to the watercraft's jet drive system. The rider turns the handlebars to direct the jet stream, allowing for maneuvering. Additionally, the rider must maintain speed, as PWCs have a unique handling characteristic where they require forward momentum to steer effectively. Safety features such as a kill switch and throttle control are also essential for safe operation.
