Stopping Boat - Yamaha Motor F8 Manuel De L'utilisateur

NOTICE
Warm up the engine before shifting into
gear. Until the engine is warm, the idle
speed may be higher than normal. High
idle speed can prevent you from shifting
back to neutral. If this occurs, stop the en-
gine, shift to neutral, then restart the en-
gine and allow it to warm up.
To shift out of neutral
Move the gear shift lever firmly and crisply
forward (for forward gear) or backward (for
reverse gear). Be sure to check that the tilt
lock lever is in the lock/down position (if
equipped) before operating in reverse.

TIP:
The gear shift lever operates only when the
throttle grip is in the fully closed position.
