摘要： One example provides an electric watercraft including a jet propulsion system to form a water jet to provide thrust to propel the watercraft, an electric motor to drive the jet propulsion system, a battery system to power the motor, an accelerator which can be actuated over an accelerator actuation range to control the motor to adjust an amount of thrust provided by the water jet, and a steering mechanism operable over a steering range to steer the watercraft. A controller receives information indicative of a speed of the watercraft and enables an otherwise disabled off-throttle steering functionality when the speed exceeds a predetermined speed threshold. When the off-throttle steering functionality is enabled, the controller activates the off-throttle steering functionality in response to off-throttle steering conditions being satisfied, and when the off-throttle steering functionality is disabled, prevents activation of the off-throttle steering functionality when the off-throttle steering conditions are satisfied.
