Please note that turning the boat in reverse gear is not the same as turning
in forward gear.
Manoeuvring in narrow areas is more difficult in reverse gear. In short,
when driving in reverse gear, if the helm wheel is turned to the left the stern
will swing to the left and viceversa. If the starboard engine is in forward
gear and the left engine is in reverse, the boat will turn anti-clockwise.

To stop the boat, just move the throttle lever backwards to the neutral position.
To stop the boat in a shorter distance, pull the lever backwards to the neutral
position. When the engine is idling, gradually place the shifter in reverse.
As soon as the boat is stopped, bring the throttle lever back to the neutral
position.
Always use extreme caution when approaching someone in the water.
Approach them at idle speed only, allowing your stern to swing away from
them as you get close. Place the shifter in neutral and shut off the boat engine
when you are still several metres from the persons in the water.
