Gear Shifting
NOTE: The propeller continues to rotate while the engine is in neutral. Although
the approximate balancing of forward and reverse thrust will minimize boat
movement, the boat may tend to move slowly forward and backward. This is
normal for a direct‑drive jet driven boat. The operator should be aware of this
and use caution whenever the engine is running.
•
The outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: forward
(F), neutral (N), and reverse (R).
•
Tiller handle models
‑ Reduce the engine speed to idle before shifting.
