Shifting
EWM00181
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
ECM01611
Warm up the engine before shifting into
gear. Until the engine is warm, the idle
speed may be higher than normal. High
idle speed can prevent you from shifting
back to neutral. If this occurs, stop the en-
gine, shift to neutral, then restart the en-
gine and allow it to warm up.
To shift out of neutral
1. Pull the neutral interlock trigger up (if
equipped).
2. Move the remote control lever / gear shift
lever firmly and crisply forward (for for-
ward gear) or backward (for reverse gear)
[about 35° (a detent can felt) for remote
control models].
Tiller handle models: The gear shift lever op-
erates only when the throttle grip is in the fully
closed position.
To shift from in gear (forward/reverse) to neu-
tral
1. Close the throttle so that the engine
slows to idle speed.
1. Neutral interlock trigger
