Stopping Boat; Stopping Engine - Yamaha F200B Owner's Manual

ECM01610
NOTICE
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.

Stopping boat

EWM01510
WARNING
Do not use the reverse function to slow
G
down or stop the boat as it could cause
you to lose control, be ejected, or impact
the steering wheel or other parts of the
boat. This could increase the risk of se-
rious injury. It could also damage the
shift mechanism.
Do not shift into reverse while traveling
G
at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat
swamping, or damage to the boat could
occur.
The boat is not equipped with a separate
braking system. Water resistance stops it af-
ter the throttle lever is moved back to idle. The
stopping distance varies depending on gross
weight, water surface conditions, and wind di-
rection.
