We are learning about our new to use 109 hull 35. Twice I have experienced episodes where I thought I was in reverse but when giving power we went forward. Is this an operator error or have others noticed this and Is indication of another issue?

Thank you so much

Hi Jody,
We had a similar issue that was because the throttle/gear handle had come lose - ie the center screw (Philips head) allowed the handle to not be centered for idle.
Anyway check that the screw and handle is tight.
Good luck.
