• Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: forward
(F), neutral (N), and reverse (R).
•
Tiller handle models ‑ Reduce the engine speed to idle before shifting.
a - (R) reverse
b - (N) neutral
c - (F) forward
•
Remote control models ‑ When shifting, always stop at the neutral
position and allow the engine speed to return to idle.
• Always shift the outboard into gear with a quick motion.
• After shifting the outboard into gear, advance the remote control lever or
rotate the throttle grip (tiller handle) to increase speed.
