Safety information

EMU33623

Outboard motor safety

Observe these precautions at all times.

EMU36502

Propeller

People can be injured or killed if they come

in contact with the propeller. The propeller

can keep moving even when the motor is in

neutral, and sharp edges of the propeller can

cut even when stationary.

Stop the engine when a person is in the

water near you.

Keep people out of reach of the propeller,

even when the engine is off.

EMU40272

Rotating parts

Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal

flotation device (PFD) straps, etc., can be-

come entangled with internal rotating parts of

the engine, resulting in serious injury or

death.

Keep the top cowling in place whenever pos-

sible. Do not remove or replace the top cowl-

ing with the engine running.

Only operate the engine with the top cowling

removed according to the specific instruc-

tions in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair,

jewelry, clothing, PFD straps, etc., away

from any exposed moving parts.

EMU33641

Hot parts

During and after operation, engine parts are

hot enough to cause burns. Avoid touching

any parts under the top cowling until the en-

gine has cooled.

EMU33651

Electric shock

Do not touch any electrical parts while start-

ing or operating the engine. They can cause

shock or electrocution.

EMU33672

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)

Attach the engine shut-off cord so that the

engine stops if the operator falls overboard

or leaves the helm. This prevents the boat

from running away under power and leaving

people stranded, or running over people or

objects.

Always attach the engine shut-off cord to a

secure place on your clothing or your arm or

leg while operating. Do not remove it to leave

the helm while the boat is moving. Do not at-

tach the cord to clothing that could tear

loose, or route the cord where it could be-

come entangled, preventing it from function-

ing.

Do not route the cord where it is likely to be

accidentally pulled out. If the cord is pulled

during operation, the engine will shut off and

you will lose most steering control. The boat

could slow rapidly, throwing people and ob-

jects forward.

EMU33811

Gasoline

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flam-

mable and explosive. Always, refuel ac-

cording to the procedure on page 37 to

reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

EMU33821

Gasoline exposure and spills

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline

spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.

Dispose of rags properly.

If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immedi-

ately wash with soap and water. Change

clothing if gasoline spills on it.

If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot of gaso-

line vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get

immediate medical attention. Never siphon

fuel by mouth.

Safety information

EMU33901

Carbon monoxide

This product emits exhaust gases which con-

tain 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.

EMU33781

Modifications

Do not attempt to modify this outboard mo-

tor. Modifications to your outboard motor

may reduce safety and reliability, and render

the outboard unsafe or illegal to use.

EMU33742

Boating safety

This section includes a few of the many im-

portant safety precautions that you should

follow when boating.

EMU33711

Alcohol and drugs

Never operate after drinking alcohol or taking

drugs. Intoxication is one of the most com-

mon factors contributing to boating fatalities.

EMU40281

Personal flotation devices (PFDs)

Have an approved PFD on board for every

occupant. Yamaha recommends that you

must 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.

EMU33732

People in the water

Always watch carefully for people in the wa-

ter, such as swimmers, skiers, or divers,

whenever the engine is running. When

someone is in the water near the boat, shift

into neutral and stop the engine.

Stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers

can be hard to see.

The propeller can keep moving even when

the motor is in neutral. Stop the engine when

a person is in the water near you.

EMU33752

Passengers

Consult your boat manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for details about appropriate passenger

locations in your boat and be sure all pas-

sengers are positioned properly before ac-

celerating and when operating above an idle

speed. Standing or sitting in non-designated

locations may result in being thrown either

overboard or within the boat due to waves,

wakes, or sudden changes in speed or direc-

tion. Even when people are positioned prop-

erly, alert your passengers if you must make

any unusual maneuver. Always avoid jump-

ing waves or wakes.

EMU33763

Overloading

Do not overload the boat. Consult the boat

capacity plate or boat manufacturer for max-

imum weight and number of passengers. Be

sure that weight is properly distributed ac-

cording to the boat manufacturer’s instruc-

tions. Overloading or incorrect weight

distribution can compromise the boat’s han-

dling and lead to an accident, capsizing or

swamping.

EMU33773

Avoid collisions

Scan constantly for people, objects, and oth-

er boats. Be alert for conditions that limit your

visibility or block your vision of others.

Safety information

Operate defensively at safe speeds and

keep a safe distance away from people, ob-

jects, and other boats.

Do not follow directly behind other boats or

waterskiers.

Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that

make it hard for others to avoid you or un-

derstand where you are going.

Avoid areas with submerged objects or

shallow water.

Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-

sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss

of control, ejection, and collision.

Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-

member, boats do not have brakes, and

stopping the engine or reducing throttle

can reduce the ability to steer. If you are

not sure that you can stop in time before

hitting an obstacle, apply throttle and turn

in another direction.

EMU48100

Collisions with floating or

submerged objects

If the outboard motor hits a floating object or

an obstacle in the water while cruising, the

following could occur:

The passengers and any loose equipment

or luggage could be thrown forward due to

the sudden deceleration.

Parts of the outboard motor could come

loose as a result of the impact and could

be thrown into the boat.

The boat or outboard motor could be dam-

aged as a result of the impact.

When you operate the boat in an area where

there might be floating objects or obstacles

in the water, be sure to adjust the trim angle

of the outboard motor, slow down, and oper-

ate carefully. For further information, see

page 53.

If the outboard motor hits a floating object or

an obstacle in the water, make sure that

there are no abnormalities with the boat and

the outboard motor. If anything abnormal is

found, return to the nearest harbor at low

speed and have a Yamaha dealer inspect

the outboard motor.

EMU33791

Weather

Stay informed about the weather. Check

weather forecasts before boating. Avoid

boating in hazardous weather.

EMU33881

Passenger training

Make sure at least one other passenger is

trained to operate the boat in the event of an

emergency.

ZMU06025

Next to selecting an outboard motor, select-

ing the right propeller is one of the most im-

portant purchasing decisions a boater can

make. The type, size, and design of your pro-

peller have a direct impact on acceleration,

top speed, fuel economy, and even engine

life. Yamaha designs and manufactures pro-

pellers for every Yamaha outboard motor

and every application.

Your Yamaha dealer can help you select the

right propeller for your boating needs. Select

a propeller that will allow the engine to reach

the middle or upper half of the operating

range at full throttle with the maximum boat-

load. Generally, select a larger pitch propel-

ler for a smaller operating load and a smaller

pitch propeller for a heavier load. If you carry

loads that vary widely, select the propeller

that lets the engine run in the proper range

for your maximum load but remember that

you may need to reduce your throttle setting

to stay within the recommended engine

speed range when carrying lighter loads.

Yamaha recommends to use a propeller suit-

able for the “Shift Dampener System (SDS)”.

Why Yamalube

YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part

born of the engineers’ passion and belief that

engine oil is an important liquid engine com-

ponent. We form teams of specialists in the

fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry,

electronics and track testing, and have them

develop the engine together with the oil it will

use. Yamalube oils take full advantage of the

base oil’s qualities and blend in the ideal bal-

ance of additives to make sure the final oil

clears our performance standards. Thus, Ya-

malube mineral, semisynthetic and synthetic

oils have their own distinct characters and

value. Yamaha’s experience gained over

many years of research and development

into oil since the 1960’s helps make Yama-

lube the best choice for your Yamaha en-

gine.

EMU36361

Fuel requirements

EMU44820

Gasoline

Use a good quality gasoline that meets the

minimum octane rating. If knocking or ping-

ing occurs, use a different brand of gasoline

or premium unleaded fuel. Yamaha recom-

mends that you use alcohol-free (see Gaso-

hol) gasoline whenever possible.

NOTICE

ECM01982

Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded

gasoline can seriously damage the en-

gine.

Avoid getting water and contaminants

in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can

cause poor performance or engine

damage. Use only fresh gasoline that

has been stored in clean containers.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-

taining ethanol (E10) and that containing

methanol. Ethanol can be used if the ethanol

content does not exceed 10% and the fuel

meets the minimum octane ratings. All etha-

nol blends containing more than 10% etha-

nol can cause fuel system damage or cause

engine starting and running problems.

Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con-

taining methanol because it can cause fuel

system damage or engine performance

problems.

EMU36331

Anti-fouling paint

A clean hull improves boat performance. The

boat bottom should be kept as clean of ma-

rine growth as possible. If necessary, the

boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-

ing paint approved for your area to inhibit

marine growth.

Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes

Recommended engine oil:

Outboard motor disposal

requirements

Never illegally discard (dump) the outboard

motor. Yamaha recommends consulting the

dealer about discarding the outboard motor.

EMU36353

Emergency equipment

Keep the following items onboard in case

there is trouble with the outboard motor.

A tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pli-

ers, wrenches (including metric sizes), and

electrical tape.

Waterproof flashlight with extra batteries.

An extra engine shut-off cord (lanyard)

with clip.

Spare parts, such as an extra set of spark

plugs.

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and

clip

The clip must be attached to the engine shut-

off switch for the engine to run. The cord

should be attached to a secure place on the

operator’s clothing, or arm or leg. Should the

operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the

cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to

the engine. This will prevent the boat from

running away under power. WARNING! At-

tach the engine shut-off cord to a secure

place on your clothing, or your arm or leg

while operating. Do not attach the cord to

clothing that could tear loose. Do not

route the cord where it could become en-

tangled, preventing it from functioning.

Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-

ing 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. [EWM00123]

Installation

EMU26903

Installation

The information presented in this section is

intended as reference only. It is not possible

to provide complete instructions for every

possible boat and motor combination. Proper

mounting depends in part on experience and

the specific boat and motor combination.

WARNING

EWM01591

Overpowering a boat could cause se-

vere instability. Do not install an out-

board motor with more horsepower

than the maximum rating on the capac-

ity plate of the boat. If the boat does not

have a capacity plate, consult the boat

manufacturer.

Improper mounting of the outboard mo-

tor could result in hazardous condi-

tions such as poor handling, loss of

control, or fire hazards. For permanent-

ly mounted models, your dealer or oth-

er person experienced in proper rigging

should mount the motor.

EMU33471

Mounting the outboard motor

The outboard motor should be mounted so

that the boat is well balanced. Otherwise, the

boat could be hard to steer. For single-en-

gine boats, mount the outboard motor on the

centerline (keel line) of the boat.

EMU26937

Mounting height (boat bottom)

The mounting height of your outboard motor

affects its efficiency and reliability. If it is

mounted too high, propeller ventilation may

occur, which will reduce propulsion due to

excessive propeller slip, and the water in-

takes for the cooling system may not get an

adequate water supply, which can cause en-

gine overheating. If the engine is mounted

too low, water resistance (drag) will increase,

thereby reducing engine efficiency and per-

formance.

Most commonly, an outboard motor should

be mounted so that the anti-cavitation plate

is in alignment with the bottom of the boat.

The optimum mounting height of the out-

board motor is affected by the boat/motor

combination and the desired use. Test runs

at different heights can help determine the

optimum mounting height. Consult your

Yamaha dealer or boat manufacturer for fur-

ther information on determining the proper

mounting height.

ZMU01760

Installation

NOTICE

ECM01635

Make sure that the idle hole is high

enough to prevent water from entering

the engine even if the boat is stationary

with the maximum load.

Incorrect engine height or obstructions

to the smooth flow of water (such as the

design or condition of the boat, or ac-

cessories, such as transom ladders or

depth finder transducers) can create

airborne water spray while the boat is

cruising. If the outboard motor is oper-

ated continuously in the presence of

airborne water spray, enough water

could enter the engine through the air

intake opening in the top cowling to

cause severe engine damage. Remove

the cause of the airborne water spray.

EMU26974

Clamping the outboard motor

1. Place the outboard motor on the tran-

som so that it is positioned as close to

the center as possible. Tighten the tran-

som clamp screws evenly and securely.

Occasionally check the clamp screws for

tightness during operation of the out-

board motor because they could be-

come loose due to engine vibration.

WARNING! Loose clamp screws

could allow the outboard motor to fall

off or move on the transom. This

could cause loss of control and seri-

ous injury. Make sure the clamp

screws are tightened securely. Occa-

sionally check the screws for tight-

ness during operation. [EWM00643]

2. If the restraint cable attachment is

equipped on your engine, a restraint ca-

ble or chain should be used. Attach one

end to the restraint cable attachment

and the other to a secure mounting point

on the boat. Otherwise the engine could

be completely lost if it accidentally falls

off the transom.

3. Secure the clamp bracket to the transom

using the bolts provided with the out-

board (if packed). For details, consult

your Yamaha dealer. WARNING! Avoid

using bolts, nuts or washers other

than those contained in the engine

packaging. If used, they must be of at

Procedure for pre-mixed models

Run the engine under load (in gear with a

propeller installed) for 10 hours 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 3000 r/min). Vary engine speed

occasionally. If you have an easy-plan-

ing boat, accelerate at full throttle onto

plane, then immediately reduce the

throttle to 3000 r/min or less.

3. Next two hours:

Accelerate at full throttle onto plane,

then reduce engine speed to three-quar-

ter throttle (approximately 4000 r/min).

Vary engine speed occasionally. Run at

full throttle for one minute, then allow

about 10 minutes of operation at three-

quarter throttle or less to let the engine

cool.

4. Remaining seven hours:

Run the engine at any speed. However,

avoid operating at full throttle for more

than 5 minutes at a time.

5. After the first 10 hours:

Operate the engine normally. Use the

standard premix ratio of gasoline and oil.

For details on mixing fuel and oil, see

page 35.

Trimming outboard motor

WARNING

EWM00741

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 in-

creases 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.

The trim angle of the outboard motor helps

determine the position of the bow of the boat

in the water. Correct trim angle will help im-

prove performance and fuel economy while

reducing strain on the engine. 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.

2. Tilt the outboard motor up, and then re-

move the trim rod from the clamp brack-

et.

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 to-

ward 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.

TIP:

The outboard motor trim angle can be

changed approximately 4 degrees by shifting

the trim rod one hole.

Make test runs with the trim set to different

angles to find the position that works best for

your boat and operating conditions.

EMU27913

Adjusting boat trim

When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude

results in less drag, greater stability and effi-

ciency. 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 tenden-

cy to steer to one side or the other. Compen-

sate for this as you steer. When the bow of

the boat is down, it is easier to accelerate

from a standing start onto plane.

Bow Up

Too much trim-out puts the bow of the boat

too high in the water. Performance and econ-

omy 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 per-

formance further, and the boat may “por-

poise” (hop in the water), which could throw

the operator and passengers overboard.

Bow Down

Too much trim-in causes the boat to “plow”

through the water, decreasing fuel economy

and making it hard to increase speed. Oper-

ating 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 opera-

tion difficult and dangerous.

ZMU03213

Operation

TIP:

Depending on the type of boat, the outboard

motor trim angle may have little effect on the

trim of the boat when operating.

EMU27936

Tilting up and down

If the engine will be stopped for some time or

if the boat is moored in shallows, the out-

board motor should be tilted up to protect the

propeller and lower casing from damage by

collision with obstructions, and also to re-

duce salt corrosion.

WARNING

EWM00223

Make sure that no one is near the out-

board motor when tilting the outboard

motor up or down. Otherwise, body parts

could be crushed between the outboard

motor and the clamp bracket.

WARNING

EWM00251

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. If there is a

fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-

nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if

the engine will be tilted for more than a

few minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.

NOTICE

ECM00242

Before tilting the outboard motor, stop

the engine by following the procedure

on page 48. Never tilt the outboard mo-

tor while the engine is running. Severe

damage from overheating can result.

Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the

tiller handle (if equipped) because this

could break the handle.

Transporting and storing

outboard motor

WARNING

EWM02621

USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,

whether in a boat or car.

DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum

capacity. Gasoline will expand consid-

erably as it warms up and can build up

pressure in the fuel container. This can

cause fuel leakage and a potential fire

hazard.

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When

transporting and storing the outboard

motor, disconnect the fuel line from the

outboard motor to prevent fuel from

leaking.

Never get under the outboard motor

while it is tilted. Severe injury could oc-

cur if the outboard motor accidentally

falls.

Do not use the tilt support lever or knob

when trailering the boat. The outboard

motor could shake loose from the tilt

support and fall. If the outboard motor

cannot be trailered in the normal run-

ning position, use an additional sup-

port device to secure it in the tilt

position.

NOTICE

ECM02441

When storing the outboard motor for pro-

longed time, fuel must be drained from

the fuel tank. The deteriorated fuel could

clog the fuel line causing engine start dif-

ficulty or malfunction.

When storing or transporting the outboard

motor, make sure to follow the procedure list-

ed below.

Disconnect the fuel line from the outboard

motor.

Tighten the fuel tank cap and its air vent

screw.

When the outboard motor is tilted pro-

longed time for mooring or trailering the

boat, disconnect the fuel line from the out-

board motor. Tighten the fuel tank cap and

its air vent screw.

The outboard motor should be transported

and stored in the normal running position. If

there is insufficient road clearance in this po-

sition, then trailer the outboard motor in the

tilt position using a motor support device

such as a transom saver bar. Consult your

Yamaha dealer for further details.

Procedure

EMU28324

Flushing with the flushing attachment

1. Wash the outboard motor body using

fresh water. NOTICE: Do not spray wa-

ter into the air intake. [ECM01841] For fur-

ther information, see page 58.

2. Disconnect the fuel line from the motor

or shut off the fuel cock, if equipped.

3. Remove the engine top cowling and si-

lencer cover. Remove the propeller.

4. Install the flushing attachment over the

cooling water inlet. NOTICE: Do not run

the engine without supplying it with

cooling water. Either the engine water

pump will be damaged or the engine

will be damaged from overheating.

Before starting the engine, be sure to

supply water to the cooling water

passages. Avoid running the out-

board motor at high speed while on

the flushing attachment, otherwise

overheating could occur. [ECM02001]

5. Cooling system flushing is essential to

prevent the cooling system from clog-

ging up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addi-

tion, fogging/lubricating of the engine is

mandatory to prevent excessive engine

damage due to rust. Perform the flush-

ing and fogging at the same time.

WARNING! Do not touch or remove

electrical parts when starting or dur-

ing operation. Keep hands, hair, and

clothes away from the flywheel and

other rotating parts while the engine

is running. [EWM00092]

6. Run the engine at a fast idle for a few

minutes in neutral position.

7. Just prior to turning off the engine, quick-

ly spray “Fogging Oil” alternately into

each carburetor or the fogging hole of

the silencer cover, if equipped. When

properly done, the engine will smoke ex-

cessively and almost stall.

8. Remove the flushing attachment.

9. Install the silencer cover/cap of fogging

hole and top cowling.

10. If the “Fogging Oil” is not available, run

the engine at a fast idle until the fuel sys-

tem becomes empty and the engine

stops.

nicks, or flaking paint. Areas with damaged

paint are more likely to corrode. If necessary,

clean and paint the areas. Touch-up paint is

available from your Yamaha dealer.

EMU37125

Periodic maintenance

WARNING

EWM02011

These procedures require mechanical

skills, tools, and supplies. If you do not

have the proper skills, tools, or supplies

to perform a maintenance procedure,

have a Yamaha dealer or other qualified

mechanic do the work.

The procedures involve disassembling

the motor and exposing dangerous parts.

To reduce the risk of injury from moving,

hot, or electrical parts:

Turn off the engine and keep the key(s)

and engine shut-off cord (lanyard) with

you when you perform maintenance un-

less otherwise specified.

Allow the engine to cool before han-

dling hot parts or fluids.

Always completely reassemble the mo-

tor before operation.

EMU28512

Replacement parts

If replacement parts are necessary, use only

genuine Yamaha parts or parts of equivalent

design and quality. Any part of inferior quality

may malfunction, and the resulting loss of

control could endanger the operator and

passengers. Yamaha genuine parts and ac-

cessories are available from your Yamaha

dealer.

ZMU03223

Maintenance

EMU34152

Severe operating conditions

Severe operating conditions involve one or

more of the following types of operation on a

regular basis:

Operating continuously at or near maxi-

mum engine speed (rpm) for many hours

Operating continuously at a low engine

speed (rpm) for many hours

Operating without sufficient time for engine

to warm up and cool down

Frequent quick acceleration and decelera-

tion

Frequent shifting

Frequently starting and stopping the en-

gine(s)

Operation that fluctuates often between

light and heavy cargo loads

Outboard motors operating under any of

these above conditions require more fre-

quent maintenance. Yamaha recommends

that you do this service twice as often as

specified in the maintenance chart. For ex-

ample, if a particular service should be done

at 50 hours, do it instead at 25 hours. This

will help prevent more rapid deterioration of

engine components.

Maintenance

Cleaning and adjusting spark plug

The spark plug is an important engine com-

ponent and is easy to inspect. The condition

of the spark plug can indicate something

about the condition of the engine. For exam-

ple, 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 re-

move and inspect the spark plug because

heat and deposits will cause the spark plug

to slowly break down and erode.

1. Remove the spark plug caps from the

spark plugs.

2. Remove the spark plug. If electrode ero-

ZMU03224

Maintenance

sion becomes excessive, or if carbon

and other deposits are excessive, you

should replace the spark plug with an-

other of the correct type. WARNING!

When removing or installing a spark

plug, be careful not to damage the in-

sulator. A damaged insulator could

allow external sparks, which could

lead to explosion or fire. [EWM00562]

3. Be sure to use the specified spark plug,

otherwise the engine may not operate

properly. Before fitting the spark plug,

measure the electrode gap with a wire

thickness gauge; replace it if out of spec-

ification.

4. When fitting the plug, wipe off any dirt

from the threads, and then screw it in to

the correct torque.

TIP:

If a torque-wrench is not available when you

are reinstalling a spark plug, a good estimate

of the correct torque is 1/12 turn past finger-

tight. When you are installing a new spark

plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is

1/2 to 2/3 turn past finger-tight.

EMU37451

Checking fuel filter
