Re: Force engine won't stay at idle in water
Discover,<br /><br />If your boat and shift lever are the same as mine was....pull on the shift lever straight out toward the middle of the boat. You'll know it when you you've got it in neutral, kind of a slight "pop." You should then be able to lift up on the shift lock and move the shifter forward to give gas only, no prop.<br /><br />To start my boat, put the muffs on it, put in neutral, pump the throttle two to three times, leave it about half throttle, push in the key for the choke, listen for the click of the choke plates closing, and then turn the key to crank.
