Shifting
WARNING

Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
NOTICE
ECM01610
Warm up the engine before shifting into
gear. Until the engine is warm, the idle
speed may be higher than normal. High
idle speed can prevent you from shifting
back to neutral. If this occurs, stop the
engine, shift to neutral, then restart the
engine and allow it to warm up.
To shift out of neutral
1.
Pull the neutral interlock trigger up (if
equipped).
2. Move the remote control lever / gear
shift lever firmly and crisply forward (for
forward gear) or backward (for reverse
gear) [about 35° (a detent can felt) for re-
mote control models].
To shift from in gear (forward/reverse) to
neutral
1.
Close the throttle so that the engine
slows to idle speed.
1. Neutral interlock trigger
