[QUOTE="tonynoriega, post: 355598, member: 9694"] So being new to boating, I had a question about shifting gears. I have a 55' Evinrude 7.5. On the throttle there is a notch for "Shift"... My initial though is, it is like any "clutch" type motor, where you would start the motor.... idle... turn the throttle to ****, then select Forward or Revers from the gear shift lever.... Obviously I dont want to just slam it into Reverse and break something... Sorry, this sounds pretty dumb, but never operating my motor under actual boating circumstances, i want to go into this with a little education. thx all. [/QUOTE]
