flects the water jet being discharged from the
jet thrust nozzle so that the watercraft moves

TIP
This model is equipped with a function

When the engine is started, the reverse

sition.

(2) Squeeze the RiDE lever. The reverse
gate will lower, the engine speed will in-
crease, the watercraft will start moving in
reverse, and the "R" (reverse) shift indi-
cator will be displayed.
