Hull - ✔✔✔–Body of the vessel.
Gunwale - ✔✔✔–Upper edge of vessel's side.
Cleat - ✔✔✔–Metal fitting on which a rope can be fastened.
Propeller - ✔✔✔–Rotates and powers a boat forward or backward.
Beam - ✔✔✔–Maximum width of a vessel.
Freeboard - ✔✔✔–Distance from water to lowest point of the boat where water could come on
board.
Draft - ✔✔✔–Depth of the water needed to float a vessel.
Keel - ✔✔✔–Main centerline (backbone) of a vessel or the extension of hull that increases

Hull - ✔✔✔–Body of a vessel; basic structure or shell.
Personal watercraft - ✔✔✔–A small vessel that uses an inboard jet drive as its primary source
of propulsion, and is designed to be operated by a person or persons sitting, standing, or
kneeling on the vessel rather than inside the vessel.
Displacement Mode - ✔✔✔–A planing hull, when operated at very slow speeds, will cut
through the water like a displacement hull.
Plowing Mode - ✔✔✔–As speed increases, a planing hull will have a raised bow, reducing the
operator's vision and throwing a very large wake. Avoid maintaining a speed that puts your boat
in plowing mode.
Planing Mode - ✔✔✔–Your boat is in planing mode when enough power is applied so that the
hull glides on top of the water. Different boats reach planing mode at different speeds.
Bow - ✔✔✔–Front of a vessel.
Length overall - ✔✔✔–Length of the hull excluding any attachments.
Rudder - ✔✔✔–Steering device, usually a vertical blade attached to a post at, or near, the stern
of the boat.
Stern - ✔✔✔–Rear of a vessel
Flat Bottom Hull Advantages - ✔✔✔–This planing hull has a shallow draft, which is good for
fishing in small lakes and rivers.

Deep Vee Hull Advantages - ✔✔✔–This planing hull gives a smoother ride than a flat bottom
hull in rough water.
Round Bottom Hull Advantages - ✔✔✔–This typical displacement hull moves easily through the
water even at slow speeds.
Multi Hull Advantages - ✔✔✔–Another example of a displacement hull, the multi-hull has
greater stability because of its wide beam.
Flat Bottom Hull Disadvantages - ✔✔✔–Rides roughly and choppy in the waters.
Deep Vee Hull Disadvantages - ✔✔✔–Takes more power to move at the same speed as flat
bottom hulls. May roll or bank in sharp turns.
Round Bottom Hull Disadvantages - ✔✔✔–Has a tendency to roll unless it has a deep keel or
stabilizers.
Multi Hull Disadvantages - ✔✔✔–Needs a large area when turning.
Class A - ✔✔✔–Less than 16 feet.
Class 1 - ✔✔✔–16 feet less than 26 feet.
Class 2 - ✔✔✔–26 feet less than 40 feet.
Class 3 - ✔✔✔–40 feet to less than 65 feet.

Propeller - ✔✔✔–Rotating device that turns and powers a boat forward or backward.
Tiller - ✔✔✔–Lever used to turn a rudder to steer a boat.
Transform - ✔✔✔–Vertical surface at the back of the hull.
Steering Control - ✔✔✔–Means of controlling the steering nozzle.
Safety Lanyard - ✔✔✔–Short cord for attaching the ignition safety switch to the operators wrist
or personal life vest.
Throttle - ✔✔✔–Lever.
Starboard - ✔✔✔–Right side.
Port - ✔✔✔–Left side.
Fuel cap - ✔✔✔–Where you put gas in on the left side of the seadoo.
Draft - ✔✔✔–Depth of water needed to float a vessel.
Intake - ✔✔✔–Opening in the hull that draws water toward the impeller.
Intake grate - ✔✔✔–Screening cover over the intake, which prevents large debris from
entering.
