Abstract
A personal watercraft includes a watercraft body provided with a deck, a hood, and a locking mechanism. The deck includes a driver boarding portion and an opening forming portion where an opening is formed forward of the driver boarding portion and an engine room is partitioned below the opening. The hood, to which a steering shaft is attached to cause a handle to be exposed upward, covers the opening from above to allow opening and closing by pivoting with respect to the deck by using a front end supported by the opening forming portion as a fulcrum. The locking mechanism is a mechanism that fixes the rear end of the hood to the deck with the opening closed, and includes a first locking part and a second locking part disposed with spacing in the left-right direction.
