SHIFTING
w
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
c C
To change the shifting position from for-
ward to reverse or vice-versa, close the
throttle first so that the engine idles (or
runs at low speeds).

1) Place the throttle control grip in the
fully closed position.

firmly from Neutral to Forward.

REVERSE
w
When operating in Reverse, go slowly. Do
not open the throttle more than half.
Otherwise, the boat may become unsta-
ble, which could result in loss of control
and an accident.
1) Place the throttle control grip in the
fully closed position.
2) Turn the gear shift lever quickly and
firmly from Neutral to Reverse.
