ABSTRACT:
A watercraft has an engine that is controlled to reduce the likelihood of engine damage and rider discomfort when the watercraft engine speed is rapidly increased due to a lack of load on the propulsion unit. The engine is controlled by a method that detects engine speed and reduces the power output of the engine by varying degrees or restores the power output of the engine by varying degrees depending on the speed of the engine relative to plural predetermine speeds.
