EMB13001 Filling Fuel 1) Remove the fuel tank cap. 2) Fill the fuel tank carefully. 3) Close the cap securely after refueling. Wipe up any spilled fuel. Ring Free Fuel Additive Gasoline is a precise blend of many different substances, each chosen to give certain 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. Fuel tank capacity: Refer to SPECIFICATIONS. As gasoline has changed, the amount of additives such as aromatics and oxygenates has increased. These additives are important for the engines in passenger cars, but they can have detrimental effects in marine engines, particularly 2- cycle outboards because of increased deposits in the combustion chamber. When enough deposits collect, piston rings begin sticking. Performance drops and engine wear increases dramatically. While many additives available may reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive, available 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 instructions. EMB13001 Filling Fuel 1) Remove the fuel tank cap. 2) Fill the fuel tank carefully. 3) Close the cap securely after refueling. Wipe up any spilled fuel.

EMB60001 PROPELLER SELECTION The performance of your outboard motor will be critically affected by your choice of propeller, for an incorrect one could adversely affect performance and could seriously damage the motor. The engine speed depends on the propeller size and the boat load. If the 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 wouid be better. 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 suit- ed to your application. NOTE: Select a propeller which will allow the engine to reach the middle or upper half of the operating range at full throttle with the maximum boat load. If operating conditions such as light boat loads then allow the engine rpm to rise above the maximum recommended range, reduce the throttle setting to maintain the engine in the proper operating range.

If the mounting-height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the pro- pulsion; and if the propeller 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-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25 mm (1”) below it. NOTE: The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat/motor combination and the desired use. Test runs at different heights can help determine the optimum mounting height. 4-4 4-4 Points to note on sailboats (For T9.9) When mounting the outboard motor on the motor bracket of a sailboat, check the following points: 1. When using the outboard, the cavitation plate should be 50 mm (2 in) or more below the water surface to prevent propeller damage. Because a sailboat can pitch considerably, mount the motor low enough so that the propeller will not contact the water surface during motor-powered operation. When sailing, the outboard motor should be able to be tilted up out of the water so the propeller does not contact the water spray. Disconnect the fuel line connection. Check that the outboard motor does not interfere with the rudder. Check that the engine can be easily started and stopped. Check the ease of operating the gear shift and throttle control. If mounting the outboard motor on a well-type boat, exhaust gases and blow-by gas flow must be allowed to exit the boat. A special kit designed for this purpose can be ordered through your Yamaha dealer.

(Failure to do this will short- en engine life.) 2) Check for a steady flow of water from the cooling-water pilot holes. If the engine has been stored for a long period: If the engine does not accelerate smoothly after warming up, the accelerator pump of the carburetor may not be getting enough fuel. Put the engine in Neutral, then repeatedly open and close the throttle several times until the engine runs smoothly. 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 casing is blocked. If the problem cannot be found and corrected, consult your Yamaha dealer.

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. AWARNING 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. EMG61011 Adjusting trim angle There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor trim angle. 1) Stop the engine. 2) Remove the trim angle adjusting rod from the clamp bracket while tilting the motor up slightly. 3) Reposition the rod in the desired hole. To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the rod away from the transom. To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the rod toward the transom. Make test runs with the trim set to different angles to find the position that works best for your boat and operating conditions. @ Trim angle adjusting rod EMH00203 TRIMMING OUTBOARD MOTOR The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water.

NOTE: The outboard motor trim angle can be changed approximately 4 degrees by shifting the trim adjusting-rod one hole. 6-13 Bow up When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude 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 adjusted 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” (jump in rough 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. @® Optimum angle 2) Bow up @ Bow down Bow up When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude result in less drag, greater stability and efficiency.

These rules are used inter- nationally, 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. 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 “burdened” vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each vessel should do.

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. 7-1 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 International 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 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. 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.

You should give the right-of-way to any vessels shown in white area (you are the Give-Way vessel). Any vessels in the shad- ed 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) side. This rule doesn’t apply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.

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

Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way 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: 1. When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power-driven vessel, the power-driven vessel has the right-of-way. 2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of any fishing vessel. 3.

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 signi- fy speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information. Remember, markings may vary by geographic location. Always consult local boating authorities before driving your boat in unfamiliar waters.

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.” Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the gap to specification if necessary. Spark plug gap: Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS.” When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket surface and use a new gasket.

The main switch must be on if the main switch is equipped on the electric start model NOTE: Refer to “ENGINE FAILS TO START” for cold engine starting procedures. 5) Insert the knotted end of the emergency starter rope, into the notch in the flywheel rotor and wind the rope several turns clockwise. 6) Pull the rope slowly until resistance is felt. 7) Then, give a strong pull straight out to crank the engine. Repeat if necessary. Su EMR21000 Engine Fails to Start 1) Put the engine in neutral. Open the throttle halfway (on models with neutral throttle-limiter, open throttle as far as it will go). 2) Start the engine. 3) If the engine still will not start, open and close the throttle two or three times. This will feed additional fuel to the accelerator pump of the carburetor. Then open the throttle halfway and start the engine.
