Systems and methods are for facilitating shift changes in a marine propulsion device. The systems comprise an internal combustion engine; a shift linkage that operatively connects a shift lever to a transmission for effecting shift changes amongst a reverse gear, a neutral gear and a forward gear; a speed sensor that senses current speed of the engine; and a control circuit that controls the engine to provide a reduction in speed of the engine to facilitate a shift change. The control circuit compares the current speed of the engine to a stored threshold speed and waits to invoke a reduction in speed of the engine until the current speed of the engine reaches the stored threshold speed.
