When the watercraft is first started,
the iBR system automatically sets the
iBR gate to the neutral position by
default.
If the gate is in forward thrust position,
tap the iBR lever. The gate will move
to neutral.
If braking or reverse is used, the iBR
gate will move to the neutral position
when the iBR lever is released, if
throttle is not applied.
NNOOTTEE::
The throttle lever must be fully re-
leased for the iBR gate to move to the
neutral position when the iBR lever is
released.
If the engine is stopped in forward or
reverse, the iBR gate will move to the
neutral position on engine shutdown.
To engage neutral from forward posi-
tion, tap the iBR lever.
To engage neutral from reverse posi-
tion, release the iBR lever and throttle
lever.

To engage forward thrust from neu-
tral, tap on the throttle lever.
The gate will move to forward thrust
position and the watercraft will accel-
erate forward.
To engage forward thrust from re-
verse, release the iBR lever while ap-
plying throttle moderately.
To re-engage forward thrust from
braking, simultaneously pull in the
throttle lever while releasing the iBR
lever. The watercraft will accelerate
forward after a short delay.

Reverse can only be engaged be-
tween idle speed and the threshold
forward speed of 7 km/h4 MPH.
1. Pull in the iBR lever at least 25%
of the lever travel.
2. Release the iBR lever to end re-
verse operation.
3. Apply enough throttle to stop rear-
ward movement.

When operating the iBR lever in re-
verse mode, the throttle lever can be
used to control engine RPM, and thus
the amount of reverse thrust
produced.
By modulating both the iBR and throt-
tle levers simultaneously, reverse
thrust can be more precisely con-
trolled. Too much RPM will create
water turbulence and reduce reverse
efficiency.
NNOOTTEE::
Engine power will be reduced to idle
whenever the iBR lever position is
changed.
Available engine power is limited in re-
verse mode, which limits reverse
speed. However, speeds above 7 km/
