The engines are put in gear as soon as it's time to move the boat and don't go into neutral until stopped. There is reverse but it is just for clearing debris. I wasn't sure what a Carden shaft was till I looked it up. Our fifty year old jet drive runabout has one. And no gearbox. Water deflector for neutral and reverse. Casady |
