A personal watercraft having an electrical reverse mechanism is disclosed. The electric reverse mechanism has a reverse thrust gate mechanically pivotable by an electric motor between a full-up position to permit full-forward propulsion of the watercraft and a fill-down position to enable either full-reverse propulsion or braking of the watercraft. The electric reverse mechanism may include a directional control toggle switch that outputs to the motor a forward signal when toggled to a forward position and a reverse signal when toggled to a reverse position. The motor pivots the reverse gate toward the full-up position when receiving the forward.signal and toward the full-down position when receiving the reverse signal. The electric reverse mechanism may include a display meter that displays an indication of the relative position of the reverse gate between the full-up and full-down positions. The electric reverse mechanism may include a reverse indicator that indicates when the reverse gate is not in the full-up position.
