Moving in neutral

[nvcoppop]

Hey Guys

I just took out my new/used 2004 speedster 310 hp
and I am curious, does anyone know if its normal if the boat is supposed to move in neutral at about 2000 rpm's. Is that to high an idle? There is no difference in speed from neutral to forward. The boat only has about 10-15 hours on it and is just spotless.
It makes it rather hard to come into a dock when you have to keep reversing so much to slow down.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like it may be idle high just a litle. It also sounds like it needs a miner shift cable adjustment. :cheers:

I have a 2004 sporster and it moves very slowly in neutral, cause the impeller is always moving even when its in neutral.

I set up an appointment today to be fixed.

The correct Idle in the water is 2000 rpm's.On the trailer it should rev about 3000 rpm's. Yes, it is normal for it to move while it is in neutral as it is always turning the impeller in a forward direction. The reverse gate at the rear only diverts the water thrust to allow it to go in reverse or not quite in forward while in neutral.

I hope this answers your questions.
