Ride Features

The Switch Compact 170 focuses on a smaller, flexible deck layout with jet propulsion rather than a traditional outboard. Modular seating can be rearranged around the planned day on the water, but all occupants must remain within the manufacturer’s capacity and load limits.

iBR helps with reverse and braking control at low speeds, but it does not replace careful throttle input, safe docking practices, or a proper lookout. Real-world speed and fuel use vary with passenger load, gear, water conditions, elevation, maintenance, and the selected operating mode.

Ownership Notes

Follow BRP recommendations for fuel, engine oil, closed-loop coolant, battery maintenance, jet-pump care, and seasonal storage. Inspect the intake, reverse gate, reboarding hardware, deck modules, and safety equipment before each outing.

All passengers should wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFDs. Use the engine shutoff lanyard, observe local speed and no-wake zones, keep passengers clear of the jet-pump intake and thrust area, and never operate while impaired.

Before Ordering

Confirm current U.S. specifications, actual fuel capacity, standard versus optional audio equipment, capacity-plate limits, dry weight, trailer requirements, dealer charges, storage space, registration rules, and extended-service options before ordering.
