ABSTRACT:
A watercraft has an engine that is controlled to provide a slower operational watercraft speed during a reverse operation of the watercraft. The engine is controlled by detecting a reverse operation and an operator engine torque request. An operational characteristic of the engine (e.g., engine speed) is adjusted to decrease the engine output by a predetermined amount after it is determined that the watercraft is in reverse operation.
