1. Shifter lever in neutral position
REVERSE
To obtain reverse, pull shifter lever
completely to the rear. The reverse
gates will be in downward position, di-
recting all the thrust toward the front
of the boat.

1. Shifter lever in reverse position
NOTE:
To obtain maximum efficiency
and control from the reverse, increase
engine speed slightly above idle. Too
much RPM will create water turbu-
lence and reduce reverse efficiency.
Steering
Turning the steering pivots the jet
pump nozzles which control the boat
direction. Turning the steering clock-
wise will turn the boat to the right and
inversely.
F09L12Y
TYPICAL — RIGHT-HAND TURN
Above idle speed, the throttle must be
applied to turn the boat.
WARNING
Throttle must be applied and steer-
ing turned to change the direction
of the boat at speed. Steering effi-
ciency will differ depending on the
number of passengers, load and
water conditions.
A jet propelled boat needs some throt-
tle applied in order to turn. Practice in
a safe area applying the throttle and
turning away from an imaginary ob-
ject. This is a good collision avoidance
practice.
Using Reverse
The boat behaves differently when
using reverse. The steering response
is the opposite of forward operation.
Turning the steering clockwise will
turn the back of the boat to the left
and inversely.
Use throttle moder-
ately.
Too much RPM will create
water turbulence and reduce reverse
efficiency.
At first outing, careful-
ly practice this maneuver away from
anything with which you might collide.
WARNING
Become fully familiar with this fea-
ture during your first ride and be-
fore carrying passengers.
