This manoeuvre can be performed in both directions:
•
If the left engine is in forward gear and the starboard engine is in
reverse, the boat will turn clockwise.
•
If the starboard engine is in forward gear and the left engine is in
reverse, the boat will turn anti-clockwise.
Please note that turning the boat in reverse gear is not the same as
turning in forward gear. Manoeuvring in narrow areas is more difficult in
reverse gear. In short, when driving in reverse gear, if the helm wheel is
turned to the left the stern will swing to the left and vice versa. If the
starboard engine is in forward gear and the left engine is in reverse, the boat
will turn anti-clockwise.

To stop the boat, just move the throttle lever backwards to the neutral position.
To stop the boat in a shorter distance, pull the lever backwards to the neutral
position. When the engine is idling, gradually place the shifter in reverse. As
soon as the boat is stopped, bring the throttle lever back to the neutral position.
