ABSTRACT:
A jet-propulsion small watercraft, comprises a water jet pump that pressurizes and accelerates water taken in from outside and ejects the water to propel the watercraft, a steering system configured to steer the watercraft by changing an ejection direction of the water, a steering throttle arm configured to cause a throttle valve of an engine to open, thereby maintaining a steering capability, in response to a closing operation of a throttle lever, an actuator configured to cause the throttle valve in a closed position to open by steering throttle arm, and a spring configured to return the throttle valve to the closed position, wherein the actuator includes a motor configured to be energized at a predetermined motor power value by control of a control device, a reduction mechanism configured to reduce a speed of the motor, and an output shaft configured to be rotated by the reduction mechanism.
