Shifting

WARNING! SUDDEN MOVEMENT
HAZARD! The boat will start to move
when the marine gear is engaged:
• Ensure the boat is clear of all
obstacles forward and aft.
• Quickly shift to the FORWARD position
then back to the NEUTRAL position.
• Observe whether the boat moves in
the direction you expect.

Neutral

Be sure to set the control lever at N (neutral)
position (Figure 5, (1)).
Note: Clutch operation or the use of trolling
during high speed will cause internal parts
of the clutch to break or to wear excessively.
1. Before using the marine gear, be sure to
move the control lever (throttle) to a low
idle position (the detent position). Then,
move the control lever slowly to a higher
speed position after completing clutch
engagement.
2. When changing between FORWARD
and REVERSE, bring the clutch to
NEUTRAL and pause before slowly
shifting to the desired position. Do not
shift abruptly from FORWARD to
REVERSE or vice versa.

positions.

Ahead

Gradually move the control lever in the F
(forward) direction (Figure 5, (2)) to the
position of the Forward Detent. The marine
gear will shift into FORWARD. The engine
will remain at idle. Pushing further on the
control lever will increase the rpm up to a
maximum of wide open throttle (WOT).

Astern

Gradually move the control lever in the R
(reverse) direction to the position of the
Reverse Detent. The marine gear will shift
into REVERSE. The engine will remain at
idle. Pulling further on the control lever will
increase the rpm up to a maximum of wide
open throttle (WOT).
