Forward
When the remote control levers are initially
moved to the forward position and the boat is
operating at a slow speed, the shift gates are
lifted up slightly from the neutral position and
jet thrust is directed downward at an angle.
This function, which is called the thrust direc-
tional enhancer (TDE), helps to provide good
handling response when the steering wheel is
turned, even though there is less thrust avail-
able at low engine speeds.

When the remote control levers are moved
farther forward, the shift gates are lifted all the
way up. All jet thrust is to the rear, which
moves the boat forward.

Reverse
The shift gates are dropped all the way down
over the jet thrust nozzles. Jet thrust is redi-
rected toward the bow of the boat, which
moves the boat backward.
