This boat is equipped with
The shift lever controls the direction of travel.
The drive line on the boat is direct drive, so jet thrust is always being produced while the engines are running. The direction of the boat is controlled by jet pump gates which direct the flow of the jet thrust as follows:
ForwardThe jet pump gates are lifted all the way up. All jet thrust is to the rear, which moves the boat forward.
NeutralThe jet pump gates are dropped down part way over the jet nozzles. Some jet thrust is to the rear and some jet thrust is redirected forward. This balance of thrust acts like “neutral” to keep the boat from moving. WARNING!
Leave the throttles in the idle position when Neutral is selected. The boat will start moving as if it was in Forward or Reverse if engine speed is increased above idle in Neutral.
The jet pump gates are dropped all the way down over the jet nozzles. Jet thrust is redirected toward the bow of the boat, which moves the boat backward.
Free AcceleratorThis control is equipped with a “Free Accelerator” button which will allow engines to be accelerated with the jet pump gates in the Neutral posi- tion. WARNING! The boat will start moving as if it were in Forward or Reverse if engine speed is increased above idle in Neutral. Use the Free Accelerator only if necessary and be prepared for the possibility of boat movement.
