ABSTRACT:
A small watercraft includes a hull, an internal combustion engine and an engine speed limiting arrangement. The hull defines an engine compartment in which the engine is supported. The engine speed limiting arrangement comprises an engine condition sensor and an electronic control unit that is operatively connected to the engine condition sensor. The engine speed limiting arrangement is configured to regulate the engine speed of the engine such that the engine speed remains between a maximum value above which the engine can be damaged and a minimum value below which the watercraft will no longer stay in a planing state. Methods for operating the engine speed limiting arrangement are also disclosed.
