Remember when turning astern (in reverse),
the bow will make a much wider arc than the
stern. Be on the alert to avoid possible colli-
sions in crowded areas.
HOLDING POSITION
CAUTION
Do not shift transmission at
engine speeds above 1000 RPM.
Damage to engines or power train
could result. Momentarily pause in
neutral and allow engine to return
to idle speed before engaging
transmission.
Using throttle and shift control levers to com-
pensate for wind and water currents allows
you to maintain a relatively still position in
the water. Keep the bow pointed into the
wind or current, if possible, by using the
gradual turning procedure above. Slow and
equal speeds on both props will allow you to
maintain position with minor throttle adjust-
ments for any correction. Compensate for
slight wind and water current by individually
adjusting throttle levers and moving shift
levers between forward and neutral.
