Shifting
WARNING
EWM00181
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
NOTICE
ECM01611
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 en-
gine, shift to neutral, then restart the en-
gine 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 firmly and
crisply forward (for forward gear) or rear-
ward (for reverse gear) about 35° (a de-
tent can be felt).
To shift from in gear (forward/reverse) to neu-
tral
1.
Close the throttle so that the engine
slows to idle speed.
2.
After the engine is at idle speed in gear,
move the remote control lever firmly and
crisply to the neutral position.
