SAFETY
INFORMATION
8 Before mounting or operating the out- board motor, read this entire manual. Reading it should give you an under- standing of the motor and its operation. 8 Before operating the boat, read any
owners or operators manuals supplied with it and all labels. Be sure you under- stand each item before operating. 8 Do not overpower the boat with this
outboard motor. Overpowering the boat could result in loss of control. The rated power of the outboard should be equal to or less than the rated horse- power capacity of the boat. If the rated horsepower capacity of the boat is unknown, consult the dealer or boat manufacturer. 8 Do not modify the outboard.
Modifications could make the motor unfit or unsafe to use. 8 Never operate after drinking alcohol or
taking drugs. About 50% of all boating fatalities involve intoxication. 8 Have an approved personal flotation
device (PFD) on board for every occu- pant. It is a good idea to wear a PFD whenever boating. At a minimum, chil- dren and non-swimmers should always wear PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs when there are potentially haz- ardous boating conditions. 8 Gasoline is highly flammable, and its
vapors are flammable and explosive. Handle and store gasoline carefully. Make sure there are no gas fumes or leaking fuel before starting the engine.
8 This product emits exhaust gases which contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas which may cause brain damage or death when inhaled. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilated. Avoid blocking exhaust outlets. 8 Check throttle, shift, and steering for
proper operation before starting the engine. 8 Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while operating. If you accidentally leave the helm, the lanyard will pull from the switch, stopping the engine. 8 Know the marine laws and regulations
where you will be boating - and obey them. Refer to the RULES OF THE ROAD section for basic boating rules. 8 Stay informed about the weather.
Check weather forecasts before boating. Avoid boating in hazardous weather. 8 Tell someone where you are going:
leave a Float Plan with a responsible person. Be sure to cancel the Float Plan when you return. 8 Use common sense and good judgment
when boating. Know your abilities, and be sure you understand how your boat handles under the different boating conditions you may encounter. Operate within your limits, and the limits of your boat. Always operate at safe speeds, and keep a careful watch for obstacles and other traffic. 8 Always watch carefully for swimmers
during the engine operation. 8 Stay away from swimming areas.

Stand-on Vessel
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.
Give-way Vessel
The vessel which does not have the right- of-way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the Stand-On vessel. Normally, you should not cross in front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You should slow down or change directions briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should always move in such a way that the operator of the other vessel can see what you are doing.
The general prudential rule
This rule is called Rule 2 in the Inter- national Rules and says,
In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special circumstances, which may ren- der a departure from the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate danger.
In other words, follow the standard rules except when a collision will occur unless both vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the case, both vessels become Give-Way vessels.
EMB40010
BASIC BOATING RULES
(Rules of the road)
Just as there are rules which apply when you are driving on streets and high ways, there are waterway rules which apply when you are driving your boat. These rules are used internationally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.
Several sets of rules prevail according to geographic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. The rules presented here in your Owners Manual are condensed, and have been provided for your convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Department of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules gov- erning the waters in which you will be using your boat.
STEERING AND SAILING RULES AND
SOUND SIGNALS
Whenever two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of- way; it is called the stand-on vessel. The vessel which does not have the right- of-way is called the give-way or bur- dened vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each vessel should do.

RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING
VESSELS
There are three main situations which you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are followed: Meeting
(you are approaching another vessel head-on)
Crossing
(you are travelling across the other ves- sels path)
Overtaking
(you are passing or being passed by another vessel)
In the following illustration, your boat is in the center. You should give the right-of- way to any vessels shown in white area (you are the Give-Way vessel). Any ves- sels in the shaded area must yield to you (they are the Give-Way vessels). Both you and the meeting vessel must alter course to avoid each other.
Meeting
If you are meeting another power vessel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right-of-way! Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left)
102045
side. This rule doesnt apply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.
Crossing
When two power driven vessels are crossing each others path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on the starboard (right) side must keep out of the way of the other. If the other vessel is on your right, you must keep out of its way; you are the Give-Way vessel. If the other ves- sel is on your port (left) side, remember that you should maintain course and direction, provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way as it should.
Overtaking
If you are passing another vessel, you are the Give-Way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out

the power-driven vessel, the power- driven vessel has the right-of-way.
2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of any fishing vessel.
3. In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel which can navigate only in such a channel.
Reading Buoys and Other Markers
The waters of the United states are marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers have an arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass on when navigating in a par- ticular direction. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the port). This means that red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys are to port (left) side. When navi- gating out of port, your position with respect to the buoys should be reversed; red buoys should be to port and black buoys to starboard. Many bodies of water used by boaters are entirely within the boundaries of a partic- ular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters. This system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or advisory informa- tion. These markers are white with black letters and orange boarders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.
of its way until you are clear of it. Likewise, if another vessel is passing you, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you.
OTHER SPECIAL SITUATIONS
There are three other rules you should be aware of when driving your boat around other vessels.
Narrow Channels and Bends
When navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so. If the operator of a power-driven vessel is preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct the view of other water vessels, the operator should sound a prolonged blast on the whistle (4 to 6 seconds). If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound the whistle. Even if no reply is heard, however, the vessel should still proceed around the bend with caution. If you navi- gate such waters with your boat, you will need to carry a portable air horn, avail- able from local marine supply stores.
Fishing Vessel Right-of-way
All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to befish- ing vessels under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fishing ves- sels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, howev- er, impede the passage of other vessels in narrow channels.
Sailing Vessel Right-of-way
Sailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are: 1. When the sailing vessel is overtaking

PROPELLER SELECTION
The performance of your outboard motor will be critically affected by your choice of propeller, as an incorrect choice could adversely affect performance and could also seriously damage the motor. Engine speed depends on the propeller size and boat load. If engine speed is too high or too low for good engine performance, this will have an adverse effect on the engine.
EMU01775
BATTERY REQUIREMENT
cC
Do not use a battery that does not meet
the specified capacity. If a battery which
does not meet specifications is used, the
electric system could perform poorly or
be overloaded, causing electric system
damage.
For electric start models, choose a battery which meets the following specifications. EMU01861

Yamaha outboard motors are fitted with propellers chosen to perform well over a range of applications, but there may be uses where a propeller with a different pitch would be more appropriate. For a greater operating load, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suitable as it enables the correct engine speed to be main- tained. Conversely, a larger-pitch pro- peller is more suitable for a smaller oper- ating load.
Yamaha dealers stock a range of pro- pellers, and can advise you and install a propeller on your outboard that is best suited to your application. NOTE:
At full throttle and under a maximum boat load, the engines rpm should be within the upper half of the full throttle operating range, as listed in SPECIFICA- TIONS on page 4-1. Select a propeller which fulfills this requirement. If operating under conditions which allow the engines rpm to rise above the maxi- mum recommended range (such as light boat loads), reduce the throttle setting to maintain the rpm in the proper operating range.

Engine stop lanyard switch
The lock-plate on the end of the lanyard must be attached to the engine stop switch for the engine to run. The lanyard should be attached to a secure place on the operators clothing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the lanyard will pull out the lock plate, stopping ignition to the engine. This will prevent the boat from running away under power.
w
8 Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, your
arm or leg while operating.
8 Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard in such a way that it could
become entangled, preventing it from
functioning.
8 Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of
engine power means the loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapidly.
This could cause people and objects in
the boat to be thrown forward.
NOTE:
The engine cannot be started with the lock-plate removed.

If twin engines are installed on your boat, the meter will display only the total fuel economy of both engines.
NOTE:
8 Fuel consumption varies greatly with boat design, weight, propeller used, engine trim angle, sea conditions (including wind), and throttle position. Fuel consumption also varies slightly with the type of water (salt, fresh, and contaminate levels), air temperature and humidity, cleanliness of the boat bottom, engine mounting height, skill of the operator, and individual gasoline formulation (winter or summer fuel and amount of additives). 8 The Yamaha digital speedometer and
fuel management meter calculates speed, miles traveled, and fuel econo- my by water movement at the stern of the boat. This distance can vary greatly from the actual distance traveled because of water currents, sea swells, and the condition of the water speed sensor (partially plugged or damaged). 8 Individual engines may slightly vary in
their fuel consumption due to manufac- turing variations. These variations can be even greater if the engines are of dif- ferent year models. In addition, varia- tions in propellers, even of the same basic dimensions of the same design, can also cause a slight variation in fuel consumption.

Incorrect engine height or obstructions to
smooth water flow (such as the design or
condition of the boat or acce- ssories
such as transom ladders/depth finder
transducers) can create airborne water
spray while the boat is cruising.
Severe engine damage may result if the
motor is operated continuously in the
presence of airborne water spray.
NOTE:
During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to pre- vent water entry into the powerhead, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running.

MOUNTING THE OUTBOARD
MOTOR
w
Improper mounting of the outboard
motor could result in hazardous condi-
tions such as poor handling, loss of con-
trol, or fire hazards. Observe the follow-
ing:
8 The information presented in this sec-
tion is intended as reference only. It is
not possible to provide complete
instructions for every possible
boat/motor combination. Proper
mounting depends in part on experi-
ence and the specific boat/motor com-
bination.
8 Your dealer or other person experi-
enced in proper rigging should mount
the motor. If you are mounting the
motor yourself, you should be trained
by an experienced person. [permanent
mounted type]
8 Your dealer or other person experi-
enced in proper outboard motor
mounting should show you how to
mount your motor. [portable type]
Mount the outboard motor on the center line (keel line) of the boat, and ensure that the boat itself is well balanced. Otherwise, the boat will be hard to steer. For boats without a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer.

Overpowering a boat may cause severe
instability. Do not install an outboard
motor with more horsepower than the
maximum rating on the capacity plate of
the boat. If the boat does not have a
capacity plate, consult the boat manufac-
turer.
EMU01299
Mounting Height
To run your boat at optimum efficiency, the water-resistance (drag) of the boat and outboard motor must be made as lit- tle as possible. The mounting-height of the outboard motor greatly affects the water-resistance. If the mounting-height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion; and if the pro- peller tips cut the air, the engine speed will rise abnormally and cause the engine to overheat. If the mounting-height is too low, the water-resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the engine so that the anti-cavita- tion plate is in alignment with the bottom of the boat . NOTE:
8 The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat/motor combination. Test runs at different heights can help determine the optimum mounting height. 8 Refer to the section TRIMMING OUT-
BOARD MOTOR for instructions on setting the trim angle of the outboard.

Ring Free Fuel Additive
Gasoline is a precise blend of many differ- ent substances, each chosen to give cer- tain characteristics. Gasoline blends have been changing in recent years in response to concerns about pollution and resulting emissions regulations. One of the most obvious changes has been the elimination of lead from most fuels.
As gasoline has changed, the amount of additives such as aromatics and oxy- genates has increased. These additives are important for the engines in passen- ger cars, but they can have detrimental effects in marine engines, because of increased deposits in the combustion chamber. When enough deposits collect, piston rings begin sticking. Performance drops and engine wear increases dramati- cally.
While many additives available may reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive, avail- able from your Yamaha dealer. Ring Free has repeatedly proven its ability to clean combustion deposits from inside the engine, notably the critical piston-ring- land area, and fuel system components. Follow product labeling for use instruc- tions.

FILLING OIL
This engine uses the oil injection system, which provides superior lubrication by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat- ing conditions. No fuel premixing is need- ed (except during break-in). Simply pour gasoline into the fuel tank and oil into the oil tank. Convenient indicator segments indicate the status of the oil supply. For details on reading the indicator segments, see Oil level indicator in this chapter. To fill the engine oil tank, proceed as fol- lows:
Do not add gasoline into the oil tank. Fire
or explosion could result.

1) Pour engine oil into the remote oil tank.
NOTE:
The oil level lines on the remote oil tank indicate the amount of additional oil that can be added to the tank. The top oil level line indicates approximately 1.9 L (0.5 US gal, 0.4 Imp gal) can be added, and the bottom oil level line indicates approxi- mately 3.8 L (1 US gal, 0.8 Imp gal) can be added.
2) Turn on the main switch. The oil injection system will automatically feed oil from the remote oil tank to the engine oil tank.
3) Operate the engine normally.
cC
When the engine is operated for the first
time or stored for a period of time, a min-
imum of 5 liters (5.3 US qt, 4.4 Imp qt) of
oil should be kept in the remote oil tank.
Otherwise the oil-feed pump chamber
will not be filled with oil, and no oil will
be supplied.

OPERATION AFTER A LONG PERIOD
OF STORAGE
When operating the engine after a long period (12 months) of storage, proceed as follows: 1) Use a 50:1 gasoline-oil mixture to
start the engine. 2) Start the engine. Leave it idling.
w
8 Do not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
8 Keep hands, hair, and clothes away
from the flywheel and other rotating
parts while the engine is running.
3) Watch for oil flowing through the oil feed pipes. After any air in the oil lines has been expelled, the oil injec- tion system should supply oil normal- ly. If no oil is flowing after 10 minutes of idling, consult your Yamaha dealer.
cC
8 Be sure to take the above steps when
operating the engine after a long period
of storage. Otherwise engine seizure
could occur.
8 After completing the above steps, use
gasoline only. If premix fuel is used
continuously, the oxygen sensor for
Electronic Fuel Injection system could
be damaged.

BREAKING IN ENGINE
Your new engine requires a period of break-in to allow mating surfaces of mov- ing parts to wear in evenly. Correct break- in will help ensure proper performance and longer engine life.
cC
8 Failure to follow the break-in procedure
could result in reduced engine life or
even severe engine damage.
8 Premix fuel must be used during break-
in in addition to oil in the oil injection
system.
8 After break-in, use gasoline only. If pre-
mix fuel is used continuously, the oxy-
gen sensor for the Electronic Fuel
Injection system could be damaged.

Run the engine under load (in gear with a propeller installed) as follows. 1) First 10 minutes:
Run the engine at the lowest possible speed. A fast idle in neutral is best.
2) Next 50 minutes: Do not exceed half throttle (approxi- mately 3,000 r/min). Vary engine speed occasionally. If you have an easy-planing boat, accelerate at full throttle onto plane, then immediately reduce the throttle to 3,000 r/min or less.
3) Second hour: Accelerate at full throttle onto plane, then reduce engine speed to three- quarter throttle (approximately 4,000 r/min). Vary engine speed occasional- ly. Run at full throttle for one minute, then allow about 10 minutes of opera- tion at three-quarter throttle or less to let the engine cool.
4) Third through tenth hours: Avoid operating at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time. Let the engine cool between full-throttle runs. Vary engine speed occasionally. Avoid operating the engine at 2,000 r/min and below for more than 1 hour at a time.
5) After the first 10 hours: Operate the engine normally. Use only straight gasoline in the fuel tank. The oil injection system provides proper lubrication for normal opera- tion.

STARTING ENGINE
w
8 Before starting the engine, make sure
that the boat is tightly moored and that
you can steer clear of any obstructions.
Be sure there are no swimmers in the
water near you.
8When the air vent screw is loosened,
gasoline (petrol) vapor will be released.
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable,
and its vapors are flammable and
explosive. Refrain from smoking, and
keep away from open flames and
sparks while loosening the air vent
screw.
8 This product emits exhaust gases
which contain carbon monoxide, a col-
orless, odorless gas which may cause
brain damage or death when inhaled.
Symptoms include nausea, dizziness,
and drowsiness. Keep cockpit and
cabin areas well ventilated. Avoid
blocking exhaust outlets.
1) If there is an air vent screw on the fuel tank cap, loosen it 2 or 3 turns.
2) If there is a fuel joint or a fuel cock on the boat, firmly connect the fuel line to the joint or open the fuel cock.
3) Squeeze the primer bulb with the out- let end up until you feel it become firm.

PROCEDURE FOR REMOTE
CONTROL MODEL
4) Place the remote control lever in the Neutral position.
NOTE:
The start-in-gear protection device per- mits the engine to be started only when it is in Neutral.
5) Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg. Then, install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard in the engine stop switch.
w
8 Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, your
arm or leg while operating.
8 Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
8 Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of
engine power means the loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapidly.
This could cause people and objects in
the boat to be thrown forward.

WARMING UP ENGINE
1) Before beginning operation, allow the engine to warm up at idling speed for 3 minutes. (Failure to do this will shorten engine life.)
2) Check for a steady flow of water from the cooling-water pilot hole.
cC
A continuous flow of water from the pilot
hole shows that the water pump is
pumping water through the cooling pas-
sages. If water is not flowing out of the
pilot hole at all times while the engine is
running, do not continue to run the
engine. Overheating and serious damage
could occur. Stop the engine and check
to see if the water inlet on the lower cas-
ing is blocked. If the problem cannot be
found and corrected, consult your
Yamaha dealer.

TRIMMING OUTBOARD
MOTOR
The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water. The correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain on the engine. The correct trim angle depends upon the combination of boat, engine, and propeller. Correct trim is also affected by variables such as the load in the boat, sea conditions, and running speed.
w
Excessive trim for the operating condi-
tions (either trim up or trim down) can
cause boat instability and can make
steering the boat more difficult. This
increases the possibility of an accident. If
the boat begins to feel unstable or is hard
to steer, slow down and/or readjust the
trim angle.
NOTE:
Refer to the section ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE for instructions on usage.

Power Trim/Tilt Model
8 Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the
trim/tilt angle, also be careful not to
pinch any body parts between the drive
unit and clamp bracket.
8 Use caution when trying a trim position
for the first time. Increase speed gradu-
ally and watch for any signs of instabili-
ty or control problems.
8 Use the power trim/tilt switch located
on the bottom engine cowling (if
equipped) only when the boat is at a
complete stop with the engine off.
The outboard motor trim angle can be adjusted operating the power trim/tilt switch 1.
To raise the bow (trim-out), push the switch UP.
To lower the bow (trim-in), push the switch DN.
Make test runs with the trim set to differ- ent angles to find the position that works best for your boat and operating condi- tions. NOTE:
To adjust the trim angle while the boat is moving, use the power trim and tilt switch located on the remote control device or tiller handle, if so equipped.

EMU00282
Bow Up
When the boat is on plane, a bow-up atti- tude result in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. When trimmed out, the boat may have more tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you steer. The trim tab can also be adjust- ed to help offset this effect.
Too much trim-out puts the bow of the boat too high in the water. Performance and economy are decreased because the hull of the boat is pushing the water and there is more air drag. Excessive trim-up can cause the propeller to ventilate, which reduces performance further. When trimmed-out too much, a boat may porpoise (hop in the water), which could throw the operator and pas- sengers overboard.
EMU00283
Bow Down
When the bow of the boat is down, it is easier to accelerate from a standing start onto plane.
Too much trim-in causes the boat to plow through the water, decreasing fuel economy and making in hard to increase speed. Operating with excessive trim-in at higher speeds also makes the boat unstable. Resistance at the bow is greatly increased, heightening the danger of bow steering and making operation dif- ficult and dangerous.

TILTING UP/DOWN
If the engine will be stopped for some time, or if the boat is moored in shallows, the engine should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion.
cC
Before tilting the motor, follow the proce-
dures under STOPPING ENGINE. Never
tilt the motor while the engine is running.
Severe damage from overheating can
result.
w
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt
angle, also be careful not to pinch any
body parts between the drive unit and
engine bracket.
w
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Disconnect
the fuel line or close the fuel cock if the
engine will be tilted for more than a few
minutes. Otherwise, fuel may leak. (If the
fuel connector is provided on the motor.)

3) Turn the tilt-support lever toward you and support the engine.
w
After tilting the engine, be sure to sup-
port it with the tilt-support lever.
Otherwise, the engine could fall back
down suddenly if oil in the power
trim/tilt unit should lose pressure.
4) Once the engine is supported with the tilt-support lever, push the power trim/tilt switch DOWN to retract the trim rods.

TRANSPORTING AND
STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
w
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
porting and storing the outboard motor,
close the air vent screw and fuel cock to
prevent fuel from leaking.
TRAILERING OUTBOARD MOTOR
The motor should be trailered and stored in the normal running position. If there is insufficient road clearance in this position, then trailer the motor in the tilt position using a motor support device such as a transom saver bar.
cC
Do not use the tilt support lever/knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the motor can not be
trailered in the down position, use an
additional support device to secure it in
the up position.
w
8 Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even if a motor support bar is
used. Severe injury could occur if the
outboard accidentally falls.
8 USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum
capacity.
Gasoline will expand considerably as it
warms up and can build up pressure in
the fuel container. This can cause fuel
leakage and a potential fire hazard.

STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your Yamaha outboard motor for prolonged periods of time (2 months or longer), several important pro- cedures must be performed to prevent expensive damage. This is especially important for your oil injection-equipped outboard motor due to the lean oil ratios used at idle prior to shutting the engine off for the season. It is advisable to have your outboard motor serviced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior to stor- age. However, the following procedures can be performed by you, the owner, with a minimum of tools.
cC
Do not use any chemical goods contain-
ing Silicon, Phosphorus, or Lead.
Otherwise the oxygen sensor for the
Electronic Fuel Injection system could be
damaged. Consult your Yamaha dealer
for details on the use of chemical goods
for storage.

Filling Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add one ounce of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and Stabilizer (Part No. LUB-FUELC-12- 00) to each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain the fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer or other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is to be drained instead.

Flushing Cooling System and Fogging
Engine
Cooling system flushing is essential to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fog- ging of the engine is mandatory to pre- vent expensive engine damage due to rust. Perform the flushing and fogging at the same time. 1) Remove the top cowling and silencer
cover. Remove the propeller. 2) Install a flushing attachment to the
lower unit. (Flushing attachment available from your Yamaha dealer).
cC
Avoid running the outboard at high
speed while on the flushing attachment,
or overheating could occur.
w
8 Do not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
8 Keep hands, hair and clothes away
from flywheel and other rotating parts
while engine is running.
3) Run the engine at a fast idle for 10~15 minutes.
4) Just prior to turning off the engine, quickly spray Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil (Part No. LUB- STRRT-12-00) alternately into each intake manifold. When properly done, the engine will smoke excessively and almost stall.
5) Remove the flushing attachment and wipe off any excess water.
6) Install the silencer cover and top cowling. Install the propeller.

Lubrication
1) Remove the spark plugs, and spray a 5 second spray of Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil into each cylinder. Grease the spark plug threads and rein- stall the spark plugs and torque to prop- er specification. (Refer to CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG.)
2) Turn the engine over with the stop lanyard disconnected to work the fog- ging oil into the piston rings.
3) Fill the oil tanks. This prevents the for- mation of condensation. For models with a remote tank, it may be necessary to manually override the control unit to completely fill the engine main tank. (Refer to Oil level warning section).
4) Change the lower unit oil. (Refer to CHANGING GEAR OIL). Inspect the oil for the presence of water which indi- cates a leaky seal. Seal replacement should be performed by an authorized Yamaha dealership prior to use.
5) Grease all grease fittings. (Refer to GREASING)
EMK27110
Cleaning and Anti-corrosion Measure
1) Wash down the exterior of the outboard with fresh water and dry off completely.
2) Spray the engines exterior with Yamaha Silicone Protectant (Part No. LUB-SILCNE-13-00).
cC
Do not spray when the engine is running.
Also, do not spray near the silencer and
oxygen sensor cover or into the engine.
Otherwise, the oxygen sensor for Electronic
Fuel Injection system could be damaged.
3) Wax the cowling with a non-abrasive wax such as Yamaha Silicone Wax (Part No. ACC-11000-15-02).

CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK
PLUG
w
When removing or installing a spark plug,
be careful not to damage the insulator. A
damaged insulator could allow external
sparks, which could lead to explosion or
fire.
The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate something about the condition of the engine. For example, if the center elec- trode porcelain is very white, this could indicate an intake air leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder. Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself. Instead, take the outboard motor to a Yamaha dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace the spark plug with another of the correct type.
Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the gap to specification if necessary.
Standard spark plug: Refer to SPECIFICATIONS, page 4-1.
65J-9-16-4 4/10/02 2:06 PM Page 11
When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket surface and use a new gasket. Wipe off any dirt from the threads and screw in the spark plug to the correct torque.
NOTE:
If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark plug, a good esti- mate of the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger-tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the correct torque as soon as possible with a torque-wrench.

Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is poi-
sonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
8 Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic
fluid as it can cause severe burns or
permanent eye injury.
8Wear protective eye gear when han-
dling or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
8 SKIN - Flush with water.
8 EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
8 Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive
hydrogen gas; therefore, you should
always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
8 Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
8 Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
or open flames (e.g., welding equip-
ment, lighted cigarettes, etc.).
8 DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.

IMPACT DAMAGE
w
The outboard motor can be seriously
damaged by a collision while operating
or trailering. Damage could make the out-
board motor unsafe to operate.
If the outboard motor hits any object in the water, follow the procedure below. 1) Stop the engine immediately. 2) Inspect the control system and all
components for damage. Also, inspect the boat for damage.
3) Whether damage is found or not, return to the nearest harbor slowly and carefully.
4) Have a Yamaha dealer inspect the outboard motor before operating it again.

EMU00418
RUNNING SINGLE ENGINE
Using only one of the engines in case of an emergency, be sure to keep the unused one tilted up and operate the other engine at low speed.
cC
If the boat is operated with one engine in
the water but not running, water may run
into the exhaust pipe due to wave action,
causing engine trouble.
NOTE:
When you are maneuvering at low speed, such as near a dock, it is recommended that both engines be running with one in neutral gear if possible.

STARTER WILL NOT OPERATE
If the starter mechanism does not operate (engine cannot be cranked with the starter), the engine can be manually start- ed with an emergency starter rope. However, the engine can not be manually started if the battery has low voltage. If the battery is discharged to 9 volts or below, the electrical fuel pump will not operate.
w
8 Use this procedure only in an emer-
gency and only to return to port for
repairs.
8When the emergency starter rope is
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not oper-
ate. Make sure the transmission is in
neutral. Otherwise, the boat could
unexpectedly start to move, which
could result in an accident.
8 Be sure no one is standing behind you
when pulling the starter rope. It could
whip behind you and injure someone.
8 An unguarded rotating flywheel is very
dangerous. Keep loose clothing and
other objects away when starting the
engine. Use the emergency starter rope
only as instructed. Do not touch the fly-
wheel or other moving parts when the
engine is running. Do not install the
starter mechanism or top cowling after
the engine is running.
8 Do not touch the ignition coil, high
voltage wire, spark plug cap or other
electrical components when starting of
operating the motor. You could be
shocked.

Procedure
1) Remove the top cowling.
2) Remove the flywheel cover. 3) Prepare the engine for starting. See
STARTING ENGINE for procedures. Be sure the engine is in Neutral and that the lanyard is attached to the engine stop switch.
4) Turn the main switch to START and back to OFF several times to inject some fuel into the combustion cham- bers, then put the switch in the ON position.
NOTE:
If the engine will not start with this proce- dure, refer to ENGINE FAILS TO OPER- ATE.
5) To start the engine with emergency starter rope, insert the knotted end of the rope into the notch in the flywheel rotor and wind the rope several turns clockwise. Then, give a strong pull straight out to crank the engine. Repeat if necessary.

ENGINE FAILS TO OPERATE
If the engine speed becomes erratic or the engine stops unexpectedly, or if the engine does not start, the following emer- gency circuit procedure may allow you to return to port for repairs. Before using this procedure, be sure to check the TROUBLESHOOTING section. Eliminate causes such as low fuel or over- heating before using this procedure.
w
When the emergency circuit is used, the
engine may run faster than normal at
idling and low speeds. Be prepared
slightly increased speeds when operating
at low throttle settings.
cC
8 This emergency circuit should only be
used long enough to return to port for
repairs. Do not continue to operate the
engine without getting repairs.
8 Do not operate the engine over 3,500
r/min while using the emergency cir-
cuit because ignition timing and fuel
injection settings will not adjust for
higher speed operation. Engine dam-
age can result from higher engine
speed.

LOW OIL LEVEL WARNING
ACTIVATES
If the oil level is allowed to drop too low, the red segment will appear on the oil level indicator, the buzzer will sound, and engine speed will be limited to about 2,000 r/min. If this happens, a reserve amount of oil can be pumped from the remote oil tank 3 to the engine oil tank 2 using the emergency switch 1.
w
Be sure to stop the engine before per-
forming this procedure.
cC
8 If the emergency switch is held up too
long, too much oil will be pumped into
the engine tank, overflowing it. Release
the switch when oil reaches the upper
level line on the engine oil tank.
8 Do not use this emergency procedure
unless the oil level warning lamps are
installed and working.
1) Remove the top cowling. 2) Turn the main switch to the ON
position. 3) Lift the emergency switch to pump
reserve oil in remote oil tank into the engine oil tank.
4) After using the emergency switch, turn off the main switch, then turn it back on. This resets the warning sys- tem for normal operation. Yellow seg- ment will remain appearing on oil level indicator at this time.
5) Start the engine and return to the nearest port for more oil.

IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION FOR U.S.A. AND
CANADA
Welcome to the Yamaha Family!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Yamaha marine power. Yamaha is commit-
ted to exceptional customer satisfaction, and we want your ownership experience to be
a satisfying one. Please read the following warranty information to help ensure satisfac-
tion with your Yamaha.
Yamaha is ready to stand behind your purchase with strong warranty coverage. To be sure you receive all the benefits of warranty, please take the following steps:
1. Be sure your new Yamaha is registered for warranty. Your boat dealer should do this at the time of sale. Make sure your dealer gives you a copy of the completed Yamaha regis- tration card for your records. If you are unsure whether or not your Yamaha is registered, complete the Warranty Registration card found inside the cover of the Owner's Manual. Mail it to the distributor for the country in which you live (see step 6 for the correct address). If your Yamaha is not properly registered, a warranty repair could be unneces- sarily delayed while registration records are checked.
2. Read the Limited Warranty statement which follows these instructions. This warranty applies to Yamaha outboard motors sold in the United States, whether purchased sepa- rately or when supplied as original equipment by a boat builder. The terms also apply to original equipment packages sold in Canada, with coverage provided by Yamaha Motor Canada (see ``Warranty Guide'' for Canadian models). This warranty explains the condi- tions of the warranty, including the obligations that your dealer and you as the owner have under the warranty. For example, your Yamaha outboard must receive a proper pre-delivery inspection (PDI) by the selling dealer. Failure to take this important step could jeopardize warranty coverage!
3. If you need warranty repairs, you must take your Yamaha outboard to an authorized Yamaha outboard dealer. Be aware that not all selling boat dealers are authorized Yamaha dealers. Only authorized dealers have the factory training, special tools, and Yamaha support needed to perform warranty repairs.
4. If you are away from home, or your selling dealer is not an authorized Yamaha dealer, use the following toll-free numbers to find the nearest Yamaha dealer.
United States Dealer Locations: 1-800-692-6242
Canada Dealer Locations: 1-800-267-8577
65J-9-16-6 4/12/02 3:53 PM Page 4
5. Your warranty applies specifically to repairs made in the country of purchase. If your U.S.-purchased Yamaha needs warranty service while in Canada, or your Canadian pur- chased Yamaha needs service while in the United States, Yamaha will assist the local dealer whenever possible. However, some products available in one country may not be sold or serviced in the other.
6. If you need any additional information about your Yamaha or warranty coverage which your dealer cannot provide, please contact us directly.

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period? A. The customer`s responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision dam-
ages.
Q. What are some examples of ``abnormal strain, neglect, or abuse? A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include:
Running the machine out of oil, operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, damage or failure due to improper or careless transportation, and/or tie down. If you have any specific questions on operation or mainte- nance, please contact your Yamaha outboard dealer for advice.
Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to a failure? A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.
Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owners Manual instead of having the dealer do them? A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owners and Service Manuals. We do recommend,
however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha outboard dealer.
Q. Will the warranty be void or canceled if I do not operate or maintain my new outboard exactly as specified in the Owners Manual? A. No. The warranty on a new outboard cannot be voided`` or canceled``. However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or
maintenance other than as shown in the Owners Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.
Q. What responsibility does a Yamaha outboard dealer have under this warranty? A. Each Yamaha outboard dealer is expected to:
1. Completely set up each outboard he sells prior to delivery. 2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request
at any later date. In addition, each Yamaha outboard dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.
Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners? A. Yes. The remainder of any existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an
authorized Yamaha outboard dealer for the policy to remain effective.
