    Control function operation

           direction of the boat is controlled by the shift
           gates, which direct the flow of the jet thrust as     N
           follows:                                    F  1                R

           Neutral
           The shift gates are dropped down part way
           over the jet thrust nozzles. The neutral posi-
           tion balances forward and reverse thrust to
           help keep the  boat  from moving, although
           some movement may occur.

           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.
