Should the butterfly on my carbs be opening all the way when in reverse?

I do get WOT in forward.

Thanks

I don't think so. Why would you want WOT in reverse?

No! WOT in reverse would be scary, to say the least.

I don't want WOT but didn't know if it should go that far.

wot in reverse is a great way to wash out the inside of the boat :)

you mean when your in reverse your b/f is wide open as if your at wide open throttle? you sure its the b/f thats wide open and not the choke?

I only get the b/f about 1/4 open and didn't know if that was about normal.

If they work correctly in forward they are okay, no you don't want full power in reverse.
