Maneuvering

Shifting between ahead and astern must be done at
idle revolutions. Shifting at higher revolutions can be
uncomfortable for those on board and cause
unnecessary stress to the transmission or make the
engine stall.
Always shift between ahead and astern in
the following manner:
1 Reduce engine revolutions to idle and allow the
boat to lose most of its speed.
2 Move the control lever to the neutral position with
a quick, firm movement. Pause a moment.
3 Move the control lever back with a quick, firm
movement and increase revolutions.
