b. Neutral (N) ‑ has the reverse gate covering half the water outlet nozzle
to distribute thrust both forward and backward. The drive impeller
continues to rotate and the boat may tend to creep in one direction.
This is normal for a direct‑drive jet‑driven boat. Use caution whenever
the engine is running.
c. Reverse (R) ‑ has the reverse gate covering the entire water outlet
nozzle to divert the exiting water stream forward to reverse boat
motion.
2. After shifting into forward or reverse, advance the throttle lever further to
increase speed.
NOTE: Operators must practice the stopping maneuver to become familiar
with jet drive handling.
3. To stop the boat normally, gradually reduce speed before shifting to the
neutral position. Use caution when shifting and turning since some loss of
steering control will result. Steering control is dependent on the thrust
produced.
Stopping the Engine
1. Reduce the engine speed until the boat comes to a complete stop.
2. Shift the jet drive into neutral.
3. Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position.
