Cockpit can fill with water if boat is moving forward,
when it is put into reverse.
Before shifting into reverse, shift to neutral, wait for
the boat to stop moving forward, then shift into
reverse.
Bring shift/throttle lever back
to neutral position. The
THROTTLE ONLY button will
pop out.
Then move shift/throttle lever
rapidly, either forward or
reverse, but not very far from
the neutral position. The drive
unit will engage and boat will
start to move slowly in either
forward or reverse. You can
damage the transmission if
you do not shift quickly from
neutral into gear. Once clear of the dock, mooring,
