of the boat.
F10L2 7 Y
TYPICAL — SHIFTER LEVER IN REVERSE
POSITION
NOTE: To obtain maximum efficiency
and control from the reverse, increase
engine speed to slightly above idle.
Too much RPM will create water turbu-
lence and reduce reverse efficiency.
The boat behaves differently when us-
ing reverse. At first outing, carefully
practice this maneuver away from any-
thing with which you might collide.
WARNING
Become fully familiar with the re-
verse operation during your first
ride and before carrying passen-
gers.
Steering Operation
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.
