I am also new to the Skeeter and I have found that I have to "bump" the throttle to get it to turn in reverse. If I just try to idle or slowly back up it does nothing. Also agree with the post about keeping the motor level. Good luck and do what I do. Practice off to the side away from all of the $40,000 boats.
