Gear Shifting
Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: Forward (F),
Neutral (N), and Reverse (R).
Reduce throttle speed to idle speed.
NOTE: Personal injury and/or equipment damage may occur if shifting at high
speed. Engine must be in the slow running position before shifting is attempted.
NOTE: Do not increase engine speed more than necessary in reverse.
