SHIFTING AND SPEED CONTROL
IMPORTANT:  When  shifting  from  FORWARD  to
REVERSE   or  from   REVERSE   to  FORWARD,
pause at NEUTRAL until the engine is at idle speed
and the boat has slowed.
IMPORTANT:  Carefully  check  the  function  of  all
control  and  engine   systems  before  leaving  the
dock. DO NOT shift the engine into FORWARD or
REVERSE while it is shut off. If the following direc-
tions are not suitable for your boat’s control, see
your Dealer before proceeding.

After  gear  engagement, move  the  control handle

IMPORTANT:  Avoid   excessive  engine  RPM   in
NEUTRAL — adjust the throttle so the engine does
not overspeed.
With the control handle in NEUTRAL, push the fast
idle button while using the other hand to move the
control handle forward, past the forward gear de-
tent and into the throttle range. If equipped with a
neutral lock tab, squeeze it to begin handle travel.
Unlock the control handle (lift the neutral lock tab by
squeezing  the  hand  grip).  Briskly  and  decisively,
move the control handle fore or aft — until it engag-
es the gear detent.
