TIP:
This boat is equipped with a "start-in-gear"
protection. The engine will not start unless
the lever is in the neutral position.
This boat uses a direct-drive propulsion sys-
tem. Therefore, jet thrust is always being pro-
duced while the engine is running. The
direction of the boat is controlled by the shift
gate, which directs the flow of the jet thrust as
follows:
Neutral
The shift gate is dropped down part way over
the jet thrust nozzle. The neutral position bal-
ances forward and reverse thrust to help
keep the boat from moving, although some
movement may occur.

Forward
When the remote control lever is initially
moved to the forward operation detent and
the boat is operating at a slow speed, the
shift gate is lifted up slightly from the neutral
position and jet thrust is directed downward
at an angle. This function, which is called the
thrust directional enhancer (TDE), helps to
provide good handling response when the
steering wheel is turned, even though there is
less thrust available at low engine speeds.
