Shifting
WARNING
EWM00180
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 en-
gine, shift to neutral, then restart the en-
gine and allow it to warm up.
To shift out of neutral
Move the gear shift lever firmly and crisply for-
ward (for forward gear) or backward (for re-
verse gear). Be sure to check that the tilt lock
lever is in the lock/down position (if equipped)
before operating in reverse.
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 gear shift lever firmly and crisp-
ly into the neutral position.
