When the throttle is released on a Personal Watercraft (PWC), the engine's power output decreases, leading to a reduction in speed. The PWC will begin to coast, losing momentum as water resistance and drag take effect. The steering response will also change, as less throttle means less directional control, making it important for the rider to anticipate and adjust accordingly. Additionally, the PWC may slow down more quickly if the rider uses the brakes or shifts weight.
The PWC losses its steering ability when the throttle is released.

The most important thing about steering a PWC is maintaining throttle. The steering on a PWC changes the angle of the thrust. No thrust means no steering. If you release the throttle, you cannot steer.
You are operating a pwc and you are heading straight toward a dock, you cut the throttle to idle and then turn the steering control hard right so the pwc will go straight, it has no power this way.
When the throttle of a personal watercraft (PWC) is released, the engine reduces power, causing the watercraft to gradually slow down. The steering becomes less responsive, and the PWC may begin to drift if there is no throttle input. Additionally, the jet propulsion system may allow for some steering control even without power, but the craft will ultimately come to a stop as it loses momentum.

When the throttle is released, the power and torque output from the engine decreases, causing the engine's speed to drop. This reduction in throttle position leads to less air and fuel entering the combustion chamber, resulting in a decrease in power output (PWC) as the vehicle begins to decelerate. Additionally, if the vehicle is equipped with a fuel injection system, it may cut off fuel delivery to further facilitate engine braking. Overall, the release of the throttle initiates a transition from acceleration to deceleration.
