Gear Shifting
NOTICE
Shifting into gear at engine speeds above idle will damage the
gearcase. Shifting into gear when the engine is not running can
cause misalign the clutch, preventing proper shifting. Always
shift the gearcase into gear when the engine is operating at
idle. If you must shift while the engine is not operating, rotate
the propeller shaft in the appropriate direction during shifting.
Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide
operation: forward, neutral (out of gear) and reverse.
