Greetings from Canada guys! Sorry I've been absent for so long. We lost our little girl this year, and I took some time away from everything. I am starting to rejoin the world, and now more than ever, I need to keep my mind busy. My question is this; what is the proper way to adjust my Berkeley reverse bucket so that my boat doesn't start taking off as soon as the engine is started? Or should I just put the throttle/direction lever in reverse while letting the engine warm up?

One of the nice things about jets is that you can adjust the forward/reverse momentum to be whatever you want it to be with the reverse bucket. You'll find a spot on your jet lever where it is balancing the forward thrust with reverse thrust, basically giving you no movement (or a neutral setting). On my pump the neutral position is about 2 inches movement from full reverse. So full reverse is at about 11'oclock with the lever, neutral is 12, and full forward is at the 3'oclock position.
The lever doesn't have to be full forward or full reverse. Hope that helps.
