Ride Features

The Switch Cruise 18 170 combines modular deck flexibility with a comfort-oriented seating layout. It is designed for casual cruising rather than the sport-focused equipment of the Switch Sport models, while still offering jet propulsion and iBR assistance for low-speed handling.

iBR can help with reverse and stopping control, but stopping distance depends on speed, load, water conditions, and operator input. The 170 hp engine’s practical performance and fuel use will vary with passenger count, cargo, elevation, maintenance, and weather.

Ownership Notes

Follow the owner’s manual for fuel, oil, coolant, battery, jet-pump, and storage maintenance. Inspect the seating modules, reboarding equipment, intake, reverse system, and safety gear before operating. Clean and dry modular deck components before long-term storage.

Use approved PFDs for all passengers, keep hands and feet away from the jet pump, use the engine shutoff lanyard, comply with local boating and wake rules, and never operate under the influence.

Before Ordering

Confirm current U.S. package contents, seating layout, audio configuration, dry weight, trailer capacity, required accessories, dealer setup costs, registration rules, storage dimensions, and warranty options before ordering.
