DF2.5: Very High revs when shifting to Neutral

[ChuckD]

Anytime I shift from Forward to Neutral, the engine races. It seems to settle down to idle after a good, full minute. (When I first start the engine, it idles fine.)

Problem: As I approach the dock, I shift into Neutral to control boat speed (now reving), then engage Forward for the final push, it of course slams into gear.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Chuck

Mine does the same thing. I pull the choke for a second to drop the RPM before shifting into gear. I would love to find a more practical solution
