●

Before mounting or operating the outboard motor, read this entire manual.

Reading it should give you an understanding of the motor and its operation.

Before operating the boat, read any owner’s or operator’s manuals supplied with it and all labels. Be sure you understand each item before operating.

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 horsepower capacity of the boat. If the rated horsepower capacity of the boat is unknown, consult the dealer or boat manufacturer.

Do not modify the outboard. Modifications could make the motor unfit or unsafe to use.

Never operate after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. About 50% of all boating fatalities involve intoxication.

Have an approved personal flotation device (PFD) on board for every occupant. It is a good idea to wear a PFD whenever boating. At a minimum, children and non-swimmers should always wear

PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs when there are potentially hazardous boating conditions.

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.

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.

Check throttle, shift, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine.

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.

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.

Stay informed about the weather. Check weather forecasts before boating. Avoid boating in hazardous weather.

Tell someone where you are going: leave a Float Plan with a responsible person.

Be sure to cancel the Float Plan when you return.

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.

Always watch carefully for swimmers during the engine operation.

Stay away from swimming areas.

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

Owner’s 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 governing the waters in which you will be using your boat.

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-ofway 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 International

Rules and says,

STEERING AND SAILING RULES

AND SOUND SIGNALS

Whenever two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-ofway; it is called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel which does not have the right-of-way is called the “give-way” or “burdened” vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each vessel should do.

‘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 render 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.

1-7


E

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: avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule doesn’t apply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.

Meeting

(you are approaching another vessel head-on)

Crossing

(you are traveling across the other vessel’s 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 vessels 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.

Crossing

When two power driven vessels are crossing each other’s 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 vessel 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.

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 rightof-way! Both of you should alter course to

Overtaking

If you are passing another vessel, you are the “Give-Way” vessel. This means that the

1-8


E other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out 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.

1.

When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power-driven vessel, the powerdriven 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.

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 powerdriven 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 navigate such waters with your boat, you will need to carry a portable air horn, available from local marine supply stores.

Fishing vessel right-of-way

All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fishing vessels have the right-ofway regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, 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:

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 particular 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 navigating 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 particular 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 information. These markers are white with black letters and orange boarders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.

1-9


Remember, markings may vary by geographic location. Always consult local boating authorities before driving your boat in unfamiliar waters.

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.

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 maintained. Conversely, a larger-pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller operating load.

Yamaha dealers stock a range of propellers, 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 engine’s rpm should be within the upper half of the full throttle operating range, as listed in “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 4-1.

Select a propeller which fulfills this requirement.

If operating under conditions which allow the engine’s rpm to rise above the maximum recommended range (such as light boat loads), reduce the throttle setting to maintain the rpm in the proper operating range.

●

●

●

Attach the lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, your arm or leg while operating.

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.

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.

● 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).

The Yamaha digital speedometer and fuel management meter calculates speed, miles traveled, and fuel economy 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).

Individual engines may slightly vary in their fuel consumption due to manufacturing variations. These variations can be even greater if the engines are of different year models. In addition, variations in propellers, even of the same basic dimensions of the same design, can also cause a slight variation in fuel consumption.

EMU01412

TRIMMING OUTBOARD

MOTOR

E

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.

@

WARNING

@

Excessive trim for the operating conditions (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.

ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE

EMU01657

Power Trim/Tilt Model

WARNING

@

@ ●

●

●

Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when adjusting the trim/ tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and clamp bracket.

Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for any signs of instability or control problems.

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 different angles to find the position that works best for your boat and operating conditions.

NOTE:

@

To adjust the trim angle while the boat is moving, use the power trim and tilt switch located on the remote control box.

3-12


E

EMU19160

Trim angle settings and boat handling

When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to

5 degrees. With the bow up, the boat may have a greater tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you steer. The trim tab can also be adjusted to help offset this effect.

1

Optimum angle (level keel line)

2 Bow up

3 Bow down

Bow Up

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-out can also cause the propeller to ventilate, which reduces performance further, and the boat may “porpoise” (hop in the water), which could throw the operator and passengers overboard.

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 it 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 difficult and dangerous.

@

NOTE:

@

Depending on the type of boat, the outboard motor trim angle may have little effect on the trim of the boat when operating.

3-13


E

EMU01670

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.

@

WARNING

@

●

●

Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when adjusting the tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.

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.)

@

@

●

●

CAUTION:

Before tilting the motor, follow the procedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.

Never tilt the motor while the engine is running. Severe damage from overheating can result.

To prevent the cooling water passages from becoming frozen when the ambient temperature is 5°C or below, tilt up the motor after it has been stopped 30 seconds or more.

3-14


E

EMU01575

PROCEDURE FOR TILTING UP

Power trim and tilt models

CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK

PLUG

@

WARNING

@

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 electrode 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.

Standard spark plug:

Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”, page 4-1.

Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the gap to specification if necessary.

Spark plug gap:


4-13


E

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.

Spark plug torque:


@

NOTE:

@

If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate 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.

CAUTION:

A poorly maintained battery will quickly deteriorate.

Ordinary tap-water contains minerals harmful to a battery, and should not be used for topping-up.

1) Check the electrolyte level at least once a month. Fill to the manufacturer’s recommended level when necessary. Top up only with distilled water (or pure deionized water suitable to use in batteries).

2) Always keep the battery in a good state of charge. Installing a voltmeter will help you monitor your battery. If you will not use the boat for a month or more, remove the battery from the boat and store it in a cool, dark place. Completely recharge the battery before using it.

3) If the battery will be stored for longer than a month, check the specific gravity of the fluid at least once a month and recharge the battery when it is low.

CLEANING COOLING-WATER

PASSAGES

Flushing device equipped model

Perform this procedure right after operation for the most thorough flushing.

1) After shutting off the engine, unscrew the garden-hose connector

2

from the fitting

1

on the bottom cowling.

2) Screw the garden-hose connector 2 onto a garden hose 3 which is connected to a fresh-water supply.

3) With the engine off, turn on the water tap and let the water flush through the cooling passages for about 15 minutes.

Turn off the water and disconnect the garden hose 3 .

4) When flushing is complete, reinstall the garden-hose connector 2 on the fitting

1 on the bottom cowling. Tighten the connector securely.

@

CAUTION:

@

Do not leave the garden-hose connector loose on the bottom cowling fitting or let the hose hang free during normal operation. Water will leak out of the connector instead of cooling the engine, which can cause serious overheating. Be sure the connector is tightened securely on the fitting after flushing the engine.

@

NOTE:

@

● When flushing the engine with the boat in the water, tilting up the engine until it is completely out of the water will achieve better results.

● Refer to cooling system flushing instructions in “TRANSPORTING AND STOR-

ING OUTBOARD MOTOR”.

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 committed to exceptional customer satisfaction, and we want your ownership experience to be a satisfying one. Please read the following warranty information to help ensure satisfaction 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 registration 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 unnecessarily 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 separately 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 conditions 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


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 purchased 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.
