steering control requires more than idle speed, don't be deceived by a valid argument would be "stopping".
technically you would be correct because since the lowest speed of a PWC would be idling, and stopping would require more than idle speed if you were to attempt an operation of "stopping".

What operation on a personal water craft requires more than idle speed?
If a PWC slows to idle or stops completely you will lose steering control and it will become much more difficult to safely maneuver.
Mercury villager idle?
Idle speed is set by the PCM and is not adjustable. A faulty idle indicates a more complex problem that should be diagnosed.
Why would engine idle speed fluctuate?
More times than not, it turns out to be the TPS sensor
What would cause a 2003 trailblazer to stall after turning on the ac?
AC idle compensator. Many vehicles have a sensor that increases idle speed when you turn on & add more load. Sounds like your idle not being adjusted. Have your mech check it.
Your car will stop running in low speed?
need more info but try adjusting the fast idle up a little
What will cause your 1995 park avenue to surge at high RPM?
If you have a leak in your vaccum system, it will idle a few hundred more rpm's than normal, the idle speed setting is all electronic and can't be altered.
Will airbags deploy when at idle?
The vehicle has to be traveling above a certain speed for the air bag to deploy. I believe it is 35 mph. It could be more.
Ford Probe 2L 16 valve 1995 replaced O2 sensor and disconnected -ve battery lead but idle speed still roughlowcuts out after a week of driving - can you adjust idle speed or what is most problem?
More than likely you need to replace the Mass Airflow Sensor also.
Where can I see a diagram of idle speed control for a Taurus - Sable?
Engine idle speeds are all computer controlled these days. Not like the old days when we had a screw to move in / out to adjust ourselves.There are a few things that can be done to "influence" idle speeds - see "Related Questions" below for more
Why is a 1994 Mazda Protege noisy at idle speed?
"Noisy" because the engine is vibrating more than normal? Low idle will cause the engine to shake. Low idle can be caused by - Dirty/clogged/sticking EGR valve - Vacuum leak or air intake leak - Dirty MAF sensor
What is the scientific theory behind the use of the periscope?
The operation of the periscope requires nothing more than the simple geometry of reflection from a plane mirror ... a theory that is well supported by observation and experiment. Its use requires no scientific theory.
What can you do if a new engine has an idle speed at 500rpm that's steady but not right?
Review the data for the vehicle online at a free information site, like the troubleshooting at autozone's site, or buy a manual for your model to get the correct idle speed. Normally, adjusting idle speed correctly requires setting the car to a diagnostic mode. This is often done by shorting specific connectors on a diagnostic connector, ensuring the vehicle is warmed up, the AC is off, it is in Park, and all accessories are turned off. In diagnostic mode, you should be able to set the timing (using a light normally) by rotating the distributor (for cars with distributors only). While you are in that mode, you can also check the idle speed, and adjust if your idle control system allows adjustment. Many vehicles do not allow or make no provision for adjustment. While timing can affect idle, the statement "I think you should advance the timing by adjusting the distributer a little until the RPM goes to where you need it" is not accurate. Set the timing to the specified value, then adjust idle speed. Advancing timing too far causes increased NOx emissions and stress or pinging, (and more power, to a point), reducing it too far causes loss of power and can burn valves. If your idle is still not stable after setting it to the specified value, begin troubleshooting per normal techniques.. like, checking EGR, for vacuum leaks, ignition issues, fuel delivery, etc.
