2-8
Neutral
The jet pump gates are dropped down
part way over the jet nozzles. Some jet
thrust is to the rear and some jet thrust
is redirected forward. This balance of
thrust acts like “neutral” to keep the
boat from moving.
Leave the throttles in the idle posi-
tion when Neutral is selected. The
boat will start moving as if it was in
Forward or Reverse if engine speed
is increased above idle in Neutral.
Reverse
The jet pump gates are dropped all the
way down over the jet nozzles. Jet thrust
is redirected toward the bow of the boat,
which moves the boat backward.
